Wardsweb Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I woke this morning to a flat tire. Aired it up and drove over to Discount Tire. One screw in the middle of the tread and a nail by the edge of the sidewall. Time for a new tire. Luck = preparation meets opportunity I have the replacement warranty, so I get a free tire. Actually, this is the 3rd tire they have replaced for free in the last year. It was getting time for new tires anyway, so I purchased the other back tire. I prefer to replace tires in pairs. Now for a cup of Sumatra dark roast. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizRotus Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Discount Tire has had my business for decades. I would not be without the road hazard certificates (RHC). I've lost track of how many tires have been replaced under the RHC over the decades. One of the expensive tires on the car in my avatar was replaced after striking a chunk of metal on Woodward Avenue. I recently learned that Discount Tire will sell you RHCs for tires they didn't sell. One of my son's recently purchased a used car. The Discount Tire tech walked out to the car with his tread gauge, took one look at the "new" tires and put the gauge away. Within a few months the RHC paid off after the son's GF hit a pothole and took out a tire. In Michigan, how did she manage that? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Well now wait a minute. 5000 posts and of a sudden I see the BS forum. Now I can take a peek behind the curtain. Looks like I will be celebrating. So Nan gives me a call saying the kitchen is flooded. I am thinking that a pitcock behind the fridge has failed, as while troubleshooting the icemaker about 3 years ago, this same petcock came apart and gave me and the floor a good drenching before the water valve could be cutoff at the well pump. So first place I check is behind the refried. Pitcock in good shape and no water lines leaking. She said also the icetray container in freezer full of water. Was about to move onto other reasons when she reminded me of this. Seems that a freezer bag had managed to slowly wrap around icemaker rod which turns to operate the cube mechanism, thereby freeing up water to oversupply water into freezer compartment. Dang bag took me a 1/2 hour using tools to finally cut amd unwrap. Lecture to her or whoever was responsible for this mishap() is to keep tray flat against rear so nothing could migrate near icemaker. So, so much for that freaky happening which we had not forseen. She could have taken me up on a new fridge when I offered one last year. Of course, I did not remind her of that... Yes, dentists are $$$! Sorry to learn of the death of loved ones mentioned here over the last few pages. As far as work/jobs are concerned, I always looked for jobs with all the work cut out of them. Rare indeed... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe some will take advantage of your suggestion. Makes for some custom product I see. Thanks! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Is it just me, or has the forum been DOA for hours? I first noticed last night; it wouldn't permit me to edit an old post, and then it froze up totally. It just now appears to be functioning after more than ten hours of dormancy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a sidewall can't be patched, but if it didn't get into the carcass, could it be ok? I don't think the nail got down to the cords in the sidewall and I don't think the tire will blow out next week, but as a professional shop I must recommend that the tire be replaced and tell my customer it's unsafe to drive on. Tires and cars can be replaced....... but not people...... I always air on the side of caution..... MKP :-) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a guy that would patch or plug his motorcycle tires. I would give him my worn out race tires, he used them on the street. I would constantly give him hell about the risk involved. The odd thing was he has the money to buy new tires. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CECAA850 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 It was actually the corner of a full sheet of paneling. Hit it perfect. I had sneakers on but it felt like I was bare footed. Figured I'd lose the nail. It's already starting to raise up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
