Aaaaaand we're off! Goodbye shop! Goodbye apartment! Both are all empty and ready for their new tenants. The drive down to Georgia started last night around 4. It was going great until the bus, yet again, blew a tire. It stranded us at a rest stop. This morning I went and got the tools needed to remove the wheel, then I removed the wheel and brought it to a local tire shop. Thankfully we had Audrey's car and spare tire, but it set us back about 4 hours. Just about to start driving again. 7 and a half hours to go! Wish us luck!

Wow must be bittersweet. It feels it was not that long ago you got that shop and you were installing that laminate in the office. Can't wait to see new one! Of course the bus had to give you trouble right before you leave, as is tradition lol.

Ding Dong Drift usually a blowout is related to low tire pressure causing the tire to heat up. My best guess is he didn’t check the tire pressure before he left or had a hard time checking the inner dually tire pressures. Or it got a puncture that didn’t get noticed and then blew out because the other dually tire supported the bus. Idk if he blew the inner or outer tire I can see the outer is a Toyo which are good tires but I knew he ran Treadwrights before so idk if the whole bus got switched before without our knowledge but the tread does look fairly dirty on the outer tire to be a new tire to me and I used to do tires for a job but he also could have found a same sized used tire. Retreaded tires usually don’t have anymore risk of a blowout than new tires you might be thinking of regrooved tires but also if he was running treadwright I don’t know much about them. The best we can hope for to confirm what it was is another update that goes more in detail.
