It can certainly prevent health problems caused by collision!

Now you guys are saying that tire pressure is important and that maybe running a tire under inflated on either type of rig might cause failure? Some of you are even saying that road hazards cause failure on both types of rigs.
What an interesting world we live in.

When you run your tires under inflated, 2 bad things happen. First you lose carrying capacity, the air pressure in your tires is what supports the weight put on them. Simply, more pressure, higher carrying capacity.
Then, an under inflated tire flexes much more as you drive. This flexing increases heat in the tire and damage to the carcass.
Should there have been a ;D after your last 2 sentences?
Trailers don't have duels ,do they?
