Blowout repair done

October 06, 2011, 11:42:58 am

Well the blowout repaurs are done and I got the coach back home yesterday, just in time to tailgate for the Florida vs LSU battle this weekend.  Geaux Tigers!  Very satisfied with all of the work done and the new shoes on the coach.  Had a chance to meet Jeff and Carol in Camp Foretravel during Happy Hour as well as others who do not participate in the forum.

 Gerald ; Did you have Goodyear tires  that failed ? The 06 Phenix we traded in back in August had them .

It is a pretty coach, all right!  And it looks as good as new.  I surely do like running into folks in this parking lot.  MEETING them, that is ... not actually running INTO them!

           Gerald , my 06 phenix had Goodyears all around . I did not like them . I could not keep them balanced . I had to have them trued at about  every 5000 miles . They were lumpy and out of baslance from the get go .  My 2010 Phenix came with Michelin . I will  never again run with anything other than Michelin . In years gone by , I had Tractor trailers while in the boat business . Every time I had Good Year on the steering axle , I had blow -outs .  Like you said , never again .
