    Uni's are okay, but I've never found an advantage to them - sometimes you just can't find anything else in many sizes. What makes them a really bad fit is if you happen to have different front/rear sizing - then you can't rotate tires at all (and the tire companies LOVE that).

    I've got Uni's on one of my cars, from the factory, and there are few "normal" treads in that size - so I may have to replace them with the same. I still rotate them front to rear, and I even had a local shop lose their mind once and install them reversed........ that didn't take long to find.

    I suppose if you carry a full-size spare and you need to use it, you have a 50/50 chance of getting lucky - and can always find a shop soon to reverse the tire to the right direction. And that's alot easier than finding some odd size/type/tire in the middle of nowhere on a weekend trip!

    You say you blew oil all over the place, and that it was "probably rings". Where exactly was the oil coming from??

    It's quite simple really.
    When I bought my Freightliner Century, I bought it full well knowing that I would replace it within the following year. It was a high miler and therefore I was able to get it for very little money. An oil analysis done on the truck proved to be correct, that it was in decent shape mechanically. I ran the truck and also followed my plan of putting money away for it's replacement. She started throwing some codes and running weird, so I figured it was either overhaul or trade. The overhaul would have cost more than the truck was worth and I'd still have a truck with well over a million miles. I took that money (and some I didn't want to spend) and got this truck.

    Thing is...in order to make it in any business, you HAVE to, MUST keep your overhead down as low as possible. I got a SMOKIN' deal on this truck and plan on keeping her happy and healthy, as I'm not interested in a new one with all the DEF, SCR, DPF crud on it.
