That's right, i now have a flat tire on my truck, well, it's in the back of my truck now, i changed it this morning at about 7:00.

now, i am in a situation, either i go ahead and buy all four new tires (which i need to anyway), i get two new tires, just to put on the front, or do i just get this one repaired, assuming i can get it repaired.

here's the big problem cristi needs two new tires on her car, so i'm could end up buying 6 new tires or somethign like that. i really do need new tires, but don't know if i can afford it, i'm going to look for some my tires, and see how much they are....i guess i will go from there.

go to tirerack.com

i happen to see this place on my way to michigan...its a huge building. i assumed most dot com sites just had a little storefront and then used other methods to deliver the products such as drop shipping, etc....I was wrong.

nah... something about this post made me feel
like you were being stalked... like leaving a
quick note because your life was in danger or
something.

I thought the exact same thing, I must admit...
It gave me the feeling of an excited little kid when reading it [img]tongue.gif[/img]

well, i got it fixed, it cost me 6 bucks at roberson tire and wheel or somethign like that, over by my office, across the street from where the new mall is going in. on top of that, i asked them how long they thought my tires would last, and they very confidently said that they had about 5000 miles on them. but, i got a price quote, and when i do decide to get some new ones, it will cost me somewhere in the neighborhood of 550 dollars.

After Uni yesterday I noticed my tyre looking a little... 'not so unflat'.. so I went over to the service station to fill it up... I dunno what you guys measure your tyres air pressure in, but we use kpa (or something), and we usually have them at about 34kpa, so I'm filling up my flatish one and the fucking machine tells me that it was currently on 8kpa! It didn't look that flat!!!

it's amazing how that happens, i've had that happen to me before, it looks "fairly" full, yet when you check it....you would think the thing should have fallen off the rim a long time ago

How is the tire situation working out?

I cant remember if you bought all new tires or not and I dont feel like reading through page one to find out.

Didnt Cristi's car need some too?

when i got the tire fixed, the guy said i still had about 5000 miles left on them....so i am going to wait it out...plus i only drive my truck to and from work now....mainly to save gas...and take cristi's car everywhere else..

she said she needed new tires, but i don't see it, and until she says something about it again....i'm not going to bring it back up.
