A tire has cuts or bubbles.
A tire has excessive wear.
The rims are damaged.
Lug bolts or nuts are missing.Maintain the proper torque on the lug nuts of the wheels.Tire pressure rising during towing is a normal condition and tire pressure should not be reduced. High speeds during transporting may produce excessive tire pressures due to heat. Never purge the air from the tires. The tires can be cooled by REDUCING THE TOWING SPEED of the package or by stopping the package.Adjust the tire pressure from a distance. Use a long hose with a self-attaching chuck. Always stand behind the tread when you adjust the tire pressure.Do not inflate the tires with flammable gases or from systems that utilize an alcohol injector.Maintenance For The Running Gear
