Out of college, tire out of air

[bilzy7]

I guess somewhere I ran over a screw. Put my spare on only to findout it's half full of air. Went home backroads. Speed limit on one was 50 I went 40 to everyones beams. Whatever. I'm the kinda person who let's others get mad usually. Then almost home 2 teenage punks decide I need to stop to let them cross the street. One young skinny kid, put his hand up like stop. I slow down and get too close to second kid as he passes on purpose. They both had 40's of beer. The kid I almost ran over says as I pass "you need to check your attitude bro". I was like "alright, have a nice day". Just like guy who came at me with tire iron. I let people come at me if they want and stay calm until that moment. Rarely do I attack first. I thought about it but, why get out or get mad. Ya, I could takem both np. But why. All in all, I'm going to town fair tire. My brother told me they do 9 dollar patch job on tires and his buddy has ran his tire for almost 3 years with a patch. I'd rather that then a new 200 dollar bf goodrich all terrain ta ko.
I just laugh to myself about those kids. I know I usta be a punk when I was 15.

Find the hole and get a plug kit, easy as pie after you find the leak. May put the tire out of balance a bit, but who has perfectly balanced tires anyway?

 

[bilzy7]

Just a single plug isn't going to hurt your balace it's very easy and it comes with a set of four so you'll have it just in case. Very simple and easy to do on the spot wouldn't hurt to buy a cheap air pump that plugs into your cigerette lighter no more driving around on a half filled spare. Just plug it fill it and go on about your day. A patch can fall off and somethimes they don't work.

Here the plug kit, you can find it at any gas station, walmart, or parts store.

I'd recommend the t-handle set if avaliable, for thicker truck tires:

I belive you can actually get this kit at walmart it comes with everything you need.

Well tire shop said my tire wasn't able to be patched it was too badly dry rotted.. WTF? Ok so my rear tires are still looking brand new and ya I never rotated so my fronts have received extra wear but... Yes there were small cracks in the tread and this tire that got the flat was almost bald on inside due to my torsion bar eating it up before I could unseize bolt. I went and bought a new tire. $206.00... Then to balance it's like twenty. I shoulda read this thread before I went out today to get it patched my fault. And on top of it I'm in the middle of trying to prove to guy I bought lift kit off of that I double payed and only got returned one payment for a 3 inch body lift, but is claiming I owe him still. And I dropped 649.99 on a new engagement and wedding band for wife for mothers day. We rushed our marriage before I deployed and have had plain gold bands that were 50 each. I love life.

Well here's my sexy new tire, it looks bigger for some reason, but it has same 120/123 markings on side but says 80 psi? Tire guy at town fair tire I'm sure wouldn't of messed up and it is 265/75/16 just the 80 psi thing on sidewalk scared
me haha.

I tried to get my dog sniffing the tire but he moved like a dumbass.

I know it's same exact tire.. Just weird with the 80 psi bullcrap.

 

[ranger_mclaren]

I ran 50 PSI in my 32x11.50s.

 

[heptofite]

it says 80psi because it's probably a load range E tire, don't worry about it.

 

[bilzy7]

i feel weird only replacing 1 tire, as i always kept a rule of replacing either front or rear same time, but i am not dropping $412.00 just for my satisfaction. lol. i dont wanna put it on... its pretty...lol.
omg of course... loud noises upstairs, it must be 11 oclock... sometimes i wanna go to upstairs apartment and ask them why the F they dont make any noise till 11 at night and why the F their 2 and 4 year old is running laps around their apartment or why they are even awake... ugh... I wanna dress up in a gorrilla suit climb upstairs and start throwin shiznit.

[bilzy7]
