    Just had to get a trailer tire replaced because shop said it had to be thrown away because hole was to close to my side wall. Tires aren't even a year old. No place to put old tire or I would have taken it with me and got it fixed at home. It just ain't fair.


    I don't think she is a sir.

    Wrench said the puncture was ok. Neither was a DOT violation. But, why take chances.

    When I saw the slice on the other one, and I've crossed paths with almost half a dozen people lately with torn up front ends due to steer tire failure, that was enough for me lol.

    I looked up and said "I recognize the signs Lord."

    The guy at that Petro said they'd sell them for used trailer tires. And I love my new ones lol.

    I told myself one time......
    "Dude, you're gonna be buying tires. Where you buy them is completely up to you. You can either go to a tire shop and relax in their lounge, or you can do it on the side of the road......and pay for a road call too. BUT, either way, you're gonna be buying tires."

    That was a thought that was going through my mind but limited space for it. Oh well that's the nature of the beast.

    Well, the cat carrier is better than the cats. But I was thinking the tire. Penny saved, penny earned, and all that.

    Like a tug boat? A bumper for mega carriers.
