Man...I jsut cant catch a break yall lol. I get something new and something goes wrong. I get a new part, put it on...and something else fails. Its hows it always been haha. Anyways...I have had this truck since Feb. Had new tires on it as well. Well..i ahve had a total of 6 flats since then....the last 3 have been in the past 8 weeks. I went to get Wendys and headed for class at hte college. Got outta my car and looked and my tire with the NEW RIM! and was like...aww dam. So I jsut sat and ate my food in peace. Wat had happned was...When I put hte rims on I didnt lube the tire enough so the tire machine took alot of the tread off of the tire where it beads onto. We got it to seal on the new rim at the time but now I guess it wont lol. My friend Eric was VERY kind enough to lone me his spare for the week. Thank God for him lol. He was like...I kno that tire is the only one that spins....I was like...HAHA....Want Slicks? lol Anyways..I go tommorow to get 2 new back tires

I gots no money lol. Man O Man....I love my truck cuz its old and classic looking..But...i hate it cuz its old b/c everything breaks lol. So now...I will be Pimpin it with an UGLY BUTT Dirty Spare....w/ some Chrome Lugs BABY YEAH!!!

I don't get along with tires either. After having one blow out, I rreplaced it and that week it got a huge bolt through it and went flat. The bolt fell out on its own and hasn't leaked since.

I get nails in them really quick. My new Kuhmos are in today and I'm going to get them mounted! YAY!

being a contractor and being on sites all day i cant tell you how many flats i get.. of course having my son load and unload the truck when i get in also causes nails and scres to spill and they will always wind up in the tires somehow. I have square wheels on the one car from all the plugs in the tires lol and on the 76 its hard to tell whats a stud int he snow tire and whats a nail LOL
