"SPLIT RIMS!! Those could cut a man in half or take a finger right off"--
That is what I told when I had a flat somewhere in San Bernardino and they
recommended I changed all the tire and rims because the Split Rims are
dangerous.
We thought the guy was joking but is true those suckers can be dangerous. I
wish I had done it back then because now I really should and we will
probably change them out ourselves. My trailer is stored out in BFE at a
campground and we will have to bring the new tires in and exchange them.
Does anyone see a problem with us doing it ourselves and are there any
additional tips on choosing rims/tires?
