can they still drive?? i drive sometimes and see these HUGE chunks of tires and i wonder, did that blow out make the truck stop, or do they keep on rolling??
When they blow a tire on the trailer or even the back wheels of the tractor they can still drive, at least for a while. They are all double tired, so when one goes they just lose the rubber and can move on until they find a place to replace the tire. Now, trailers that are extremely heavy may have to replace the tire right away or risk blowing the second tire due to the weight.
they are called retreads they go over the actual tire to add tread back to the tire without having to replace the whole tire so when one comes off the tire just has no tread
