    tahnxs dave
    ya AAA towed it twice the first 207 miles then got a room in gustine
    then had AAA take her home after we got some shut eye
    ill be damb if i run raidials
    no ****ing way suire hope coker straitens out this firestone ****
    damb that was a brand new tire the tread separated in about a 1 foot spot making a big bubble and the tread craked as well all the way around the tire
     
  22. Kudos to you for being that dedicated to your bias plies... But you're telling us that if a fellow hamber showed up with a comparable sized radial so you could drive your car to your destination you would have turned them down and had it towed anyways?? I'm sorry I'm questioning your logic, I know you're a cool cat and a helluva member on here but it seems a bit rediculous....

    I think he's just saying he runs bias plys even though things like this happen more often than we would like.

    (Although I'm not sure how one radial and three bias plys would handle over a several hundred mile trip.)
     
  24. Better than 3 bias pumped to 30 psi, and one not so much...

    i'd rather drive a car with four flat bias ply's and no spare, than the same car with good tires man. i also hate phillips head screws to.
