Joan F \(MI\)...
Checked my tire pressure this morning and it was down 10#, Jimmy took the
tire off and found a screw in the tread so he is off getting it fixed.

david...
ignoring the R-rated title, there are some preventive measures, should
you anticipate driving a lot on your own without jimmy being around...

100% protection for tubeless tires - whether by screws or nails or
whatever - other than total wearing out of the tire... :) if dalin had
to drive a lot on her own and be miles from home, I would put this in all
of the tires of her car.

on a cheaper level, those spraycans of goop to fix flat tires by filling
the tire with the compressed stuff in the can really work. they sell for
approx $5 and we carry one in each car. i remember back when I bought the
Beast... there was a small leak in an otherwise good tire. I used the
spray can (just a small amount...) to bring the tire back to proper
pressure -- and rode the bike for two more years with no further
problems, an no more air, before I sold it (for other reasons).


JD Cooper...
was it good for you, too?


Jean B....
I hope it gets done free of charge. VW did, and Toyota didn't.
