    I agree with you MRM,

    I had to pay a ransome for an odd ball 22.5 on the road years ago. I carry a 3/4 and 1" impact, tire irons, tire blaster and tools. Just hearing stories about repairs guys on this board have had done on the road and fail shortly after. This was the most stuck wheel I ever had. The timing was just spot on, I was suposed to been in L.A. today.

    Oh yah, I forgot about the cheeta bead seater. I bought 18 years ago too. And a die grinder to roughen the surface before putting the rubber cement for a patch. Doing my own tire work has saved me a lot if time waiting, and $$. Changing out 8 tires will just about pay for the equipment.
