Naturally it would be pouring

2018-05-08 00:50:48 UTC  

Any idea why tf this happened?

2018-05-08 01:09:05 UTC  

@ophiuchus what even is that? Is that your wheel?

2018-05-08 01:09:37 UTC  

Over pressurized tire?

2018-05-08 01:13:25 UTC  

Yeah it’s the tire

2018-05-08 01:13:48 UTC  

Wasn’t overpressurized last I check but damn

2018-05-08 01:16:01 UTC  

This is apparently blowout season. It can happen on under inflation to, or any puncture that causes a rapid air leak. That may be the worst ive ever seen

2018-05-08 01:58:52 UTC  

@JesseJames would know.

2018-05-08 01:59:24 UTC  

Bet he's seen a ton of blow outs

2018-05-08 02:05:14 UTC  

@ophiuchus I think under inflation. Causes a lot of sagging/wrinkling in the sidewall, drive it on the highway and that becomes rapid wrinkling and unwrinkling as the sidewall moves between the underside of the wheel where wrinkle is max and the top side of the wheel where there is no wrinkle. This builds up heat and fatigues the sidewall, creating a tear around the entire sidewall.

Unwind a paperclip, then bend and unbend one of the corners 50 times as fast as you can. You’ll be able to feel the heat generated in the bend and it will likely break through from fatigue failure. Same with rubber.

When is the last time you inflated that tire?

2018-05-08 02:08:37 UTC  

Here is an example of my neighbor’s tire, which was under inflated. I noticed and waived him down and got it replaced just before it would have completely let go.

Probably a month or two ago when it started warming up, wanted to check them after the change in weather

2018-05-08 02:25:15 UTC  

Apparently I should be doing it a lot more often though

2018-05-08 02:25:33 UTC  

What’s recommended?

2018-05-08 02:28:03 UTC  

Also the spare said to inflate it to 60 which sounds ridiculously high to me but idk. That’s what it said.

2018-05-08 02:29:18 UTC  

Yes, the spare needs twice the pressure because it’s half as wide.

2018-05-08 02:31:02 UTC  

Check your tire pressure monthly and before every road trip.

2018-05-08 02:32:35 UTC  

Damage to the tire or the valve stem or the wheel can cause faster than usual loss of air pressure, leading to the kind of under inflation failures shown in our pictures.

2018-05-08 02:35:58 UTC  

For example, this wheel damage from your picture is a possible cause of an air leak.

2018-05-08 02:45:11 UTC  

Yeah it’s gonna be a fun little fix

2018-05-08 02:46:52 UTC  

I hadn’t even noticed that prior

2018-05-08 19:30:23 UTC  

Tanner has done an excellent analysis. The only thing I would add is the bend on the wheel probably happened after the tire blew. I don't see that being a problem for you at all. You can take a hammer and beat it back straight. The lip going up isn't where the tire seals to the wheel.

The red line is where the bead is sealed. As long as it is straight there you're good to go.

2018-05-08 20:54:15 UTC  

Oh fantastic! Yeah, that might have happened while I was pulling over to change the tire. Thank you guys for all the help!

2018-05-09 11:14:29 UTC  

I should probably check my tire pressure 🤔

2018-05-09 13:36:00 UTC  

>not having a sensor that tells you pressure from the dash

@Deleted User if I was you and was going to try anything I would try the fuel pump next. It doesn't sound like an issue that would be caused by a carb.

2018-05-17 14:07:17 UTC  

Damn. Let me call a friend and ask before you buy a carb. He is much more knowledgeable on carbs than I am.

2018-05-23 01:24:47 UTC  

@Deleted User sorry man I have been super busy lately. My buddy had no answers for me but maybe some more tests. But sounds like you have some developments. How is it doing now?

2018-05-23 01:57:55 UTC  

So my job for tonight is to find and grease every single greaser on this piece of equipment. Wish me luck.

And I bitch about the 15-20 on my boom truck.

2018-05-23 02:45:34 UTC  

Farm stuff..... 😍

2018-05-23 03:41:53 UTC  

@JesseJames HaHaHa. I lost count at 60. There's 7 per set on the front caster wheels alone. I'm pretty sure I missed some too.
