While there are some accidents that are unpreventable here are some carhauling tips to minimize your risk of tire fire on your carhauler:

1-Check your tires at every stop on the road
2-Make sure your tires and brakesare checked before taking your carhauler on the road
3-Make sure your vehicle is properly inspected at recommended intervals
4-Make sure all tires are inflated properly and evenly
