TIRES:SIDEWALL
I WAS DRIVING WHEN THE LEFT FRONT TIRE WENT FLAT FROM A SMALL, SHARP PIECE OF GRAVEL. I CHANGED THE TIRE AND DROVE HOME. AT HOME I INFLATED THE TIRE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. ALONG WITH DISCOVERING THE GRAVEL PUNCTURE, I OBSERVED 3-4 SPOTS AROUND THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE THAT WERE RAISED ABOVE THE REST OF THE SIDEWALL. THE RAISED PLACES CAN BE DESCRIBED AS LARGE BLISTERS OF 6-8 SQUARE INCHES IN SIZE. THE "BUBBLE" SPOTS WERE FOUND ONLY ON THE OUTSIDE SIDEWALL. NONE WERE OBSERVED ON THE INSIDE SIDEWALL. I THEN OBSERVED THE OTHER TIRES ON THE VEHICLE AND FOUND DEPRESSIONS OR UNEVENNESS IN THE SIDEWALL OF THE OTHER TIRES.*AK (DOT NUMBER: W273 WMA TIRESIZE: P265/75R16)

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
BRAKES ARE WEAK AND THEY PULL RIGHT OR LEFT AT DIFFERENT TIMES THEY ALSO SQUEAL AND SOME TIMES SMOKE. WHEN PULLING A TRAILER THE TRAILER BRAKES HAVE TO DO MOST OF THE WORK TO MAKE BOTH STOP PROPERLY. THE BACK BRAKES DONT SEEM TO WORK AT ALL. THE DIVING TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT CREATES A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED.*AK
