No Worries When You Can Fix Your Own Flats!

[Nov3]

Yes ...Had one plugged with the kit.
Yes,when physically able..Learning to change or fix a tire can be a $$ saver.

As I am aging..The torque compressor used by my tire shop has challenged my strength. Sure I can get a portable one...And pray it functions. most I find are faulty...
Anyways pleased to read that folks still put forth efforts to learn and do.
I seriously feel sorry for folks who depend on a travel service.(AAA).

I always make sure I have a good spare tire when I everywhere.

Truckers shift without the clutch all the time. I drove an 18 wheeler 750,000 miles and after learning how, you can float through the gears and never make a sound.

We don't fix our own flats, though. The service truck does that. Some of those guys are really good - pound a tire off and a new one back on in just a couple of minutes. Usually 18 wheeler tires are totaled when they go flat.
