refer to your avatar..relax and fix it

 

Could have been worse. Could have been in the side wall.

 

Yeah I fixed it, been along time since I actually patched a tire. But you never forget.

Pretty darn close to sidewall. Nearing the inrepairable area as is. I do have road hazard protection on the snow tires so replacement woulda been free, just waiting for the replacement woulda took forever.

 

Ouch.

 

looks like that one hurt

 

I was going to say congrats... but that was before i saw what the topic was actually about.

 

LOL, that was later in the night....

 

Welcome to the club. I got that last June when I was building my house.
Cost me $30 to repair.

 

I usually put a little glue over the patch as well, just in case.

 

Ya safety Kote. But if it doesnt seal up, you got a nice mess on your hands to clean it up to retry.

 

i did too...........LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!

 

Sometimes it really sucks to be right!

 

Jebus, talk about a flashback. Oh how I loathed the tire truck. Once a week, the 18 wheeler would pull in, and i'd be climbing the tire rack like a monkey to place the tires in the corect order. Only to miss a size, and be forced to move them all. While that sucked, I do miss have a real shop and all it's tool available whenever I wanted.

 

Lol. Yeah I payed my dues doing that. Started when I was 15, now 31. I run this store now, not much getting dirty or climbing the tire racks now.

 

Cool, just out curiousity if you don't mind me asking, what chain are you? I worked for Firestone during the whole Exploder roll-over ordeal, and Goodyear all through College.

 

Kind of a change of subject, no "screw" involved,but my ds front tire has a small gouge on the sidewall. Hubby and brother-in-law say not to worry, but I was wondering what Stoener thought.(I read somewhere he was the tire man )

 

Goodyear store Finlay. Independant dealer. I started with my familes shop for 11 years but quit do to they were to cheap. Sucks to work for family. Now at another independent goodyear.


65205 should be ok if its not showing any cords in the tire

 

No cords showing,thanks!

 

you guys too huh? lol i used to work at my uncles goodyear

and man did i hate that truck.. sooo many tires, and i wasnt a very strong kid lol, tall, but not much muscle so i was dead tired. haha, pun intended.

I started when i was 12 filing invoices and stuff, later moved up to some computer work and eventually i got to do car stuff.

tire changes and oil changes and a few tire repairs were all i ever got to do.. which was just as well b/c even then, i learned alot from being around other mechanics. i was pretty stoked when i started out lol. i mean, it was a job at least, and it was in my feild.

now hopefully i can move past auto maintenence and repair to auto design lol.
