Recent learning experience:


The last Clipper I bought was sitting on the trailer it came with. I didn't expect the lights to work, so I wasn't surprised when they didn't. The tires, however, "looked great" and held air and didn't have flat spots on the bottom. From where I collected the rig one weekend to where I delivered it the following weekend is about 900 miles.


The left front trailer tire made it 883 miles, the right front made it 897 miles, and the left rear went flat two days later. Fortunately, that part of the world where I was leaving tire bits and carcasses isn't very populated.


I'd figure to, 1: trailer your new purchase, and (most likely) 2: to put new rubber on it unless proven otherwise.
