Default Re: Visa Tires - Watch for uneven wear

They both know. Another 500 miles and I would have had a blowout. A bad outcome for sure. I doubt that either company will issue a recall.

I am now out of warranty and I wont find out if the new axle is built right until it is too late.
The trailer came with radials and the replacements were radials.
Local boat trailer owners swear that bias is better. ??????? Who knows?
What model of Visa has the axle issue, 19 or 23?
Is the axle covered under the one year or 2 year structural warranty.

Your right on being to late before it is noticed for company support.
I am not sure trailers are government monitored for safety issues like autos.
