Tire Manufacture Question...for the Brats

Once again.... I seek the incalculable knowledge of my C-Brats....

WHY....JUST WHY IN THE NAME OF MOSES.... do tire manufactures make the most often needed numbers after purchase....the smallest and hardest to read on the side of the tire?

2" letters of things that do not matter most of the way around the tire.... but Nooooooo... the little just how much air needs to be in the tire number.... the smallest on the tire. Am I the only one who has wondered about this??

I miss my days in the military when we just painted the black 2" numbers on EVERY fender above the tire for the correct PSI.

Just thought I'd ask...

Wouldn't matter if they were 4" and red, none of the bozos around here check trailer tire pressure anyway. I was following one down I-20 last week and commented to the Admiral that the tires looked under-inflated. Right on cue, the starboard side tire disintegrated. The guy looked surprised. D'ho
 
It seems to me they sell the tires with the easy read numbers to the twenty somethings and all that's left for the seniors, like me, are the tires with the unreadable numbers :lol:
 
So what is the matter with crawling around on the ground, usually in a mud puddle, squinting with old eyes covered in bifocals upside down at a dirty tire looking for the psi requirement that are in letters 1/8" tall.?
Isn't that part of "the boating fun"...........NOT NOT.

I just ask the neighbor's 19 year old daughter to read the tire info while I observe (behind dark glasses of course) and write the info down. Beware, it only works twice. After that they get suspicious....

Warren... you are 100% correct.... Has been a while for me going without talking to the Burk's.... and....I think I recall their business being in OR?? Anyone know the name of his business??

Good call.

There's method to your madness! :twisted:

Do all you submariners think like this? :lol:

Hope you're feeling well, and all's OK!

Joe. :teeth :thup
 
Joe, as long as his periscope doesn't come above the surface, he's OK. :shock: :roll: :cry :disgust

And yes, all sewer pipe sailors are alike. Kinda like aviators (except maybe for Dusty!).

So, if this isn't the tire pressure, what is it? (It must be important because I can read it. "220,221, whatever it takes")

Marty, don't understand the :?: Did you get the right image to post?

Charlie
 
Don't think there was a question there. Just Marty (charmingly) being Marty. Be careful pumping those tires up to the 220 - 221 PSI range!

Marty....I get where you are coming from sir. Pretty scarey!

BTW, any chance you might join us early Sepetember for the Sequim Bay CBGT? It's usually a small group but lots of fun. It was nice seeing you - albeit briefly - in Bellingham.



Take care,
Dan & Tanya
