kenkillsr Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Blew a rear tire this weekend. Noted while tire was being changed by GOOD SAM [30 min. response], that my E350 has the semi-floating axle. Kinda' thought on this application the full floater would be appropriate. We were heading up to Alpena Michigan, but didn't make it out of Toledo. With the Voyager roof our SMB is somewhat top heavy, but thanks to the travel trailer and the EQUALIZER load distributing hitch I was able to bring it to a safe stop alongside I75. We were traveling 60 MPH and had just left I280 when I saw smoke in the rearview mirror. We do not do any offroading in our SMB as I designed it primarily for towing and touring. Went back home as I wouldn't drive much distance without a spare. As the origional tires were 40,000 milers with 33,000 on them I just went ahead and bought a new set of four. Changed plans and spent the weekend at Maumee Bay State Park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
