This is why I say inspect your tires. All right, here we go. We got a commercial truck, we got a trailer. This trailer's always hauling heavy equipment, right? Well, here's one tire. You got some sidewall damage right there. That's no good. That's a bad day waiting to happen. Now this one here is even worse. You got low tread, but that ain't the worst part. You see that right there? You got steel belt showing right there. That right there, if that blows out, that's going to either damage somebody else's car or it's going to wind up having a bad day for this driver right here.
