New Wheel Bad Weld
So, happy I got my G614s on the new trailer. Came home, trailer in driveway for a week. Got ready to leave on a trip Sunday, so checked air pressure. All tires good but one which was at 74 lbs. So aired tire back up and off to commercial Goodyear dealer where I just purchased the tires.
Long story short, after submerging tire discovered slow leak from weld where a wheel spoke was attached to the inside of the rim. You might ask, OK, put on spare rim. Being the cheapskate that I am, I only bought four g614s because the spare rim is only rated for 80PSI.
Off to dealer, who pulled a rim off a new rig on the lot (does not match my two color rims but is a 110 rim) and then back to Goodyear dealer who made the swap so we can go on our trip. RV dealer is ordering a new rim. Goodyear dealer said besides slow leak, rim could have failed due to faulty weld. Assume it is a Tredit rim, but RV dealer did not know.
