Henry:
I know you are a big boy and all & we can spend your $$
But I think it is time to buy some new rims / Fact you don't like changing tires ~ you had multiple flat tires ~ driving on soft tires is NOT SAFE ~ Think about what could have happened while you were driving in front of that truck in the snow.
What if the roughness of the rim made the tire not just go soft but,
BLOW OUT THE TIRE ~ Where would you be now ~ let alone what the truck driver may have to live with the rest of his life if he HIT you.
"Rims are cheap"
There are a lot of us on here that really / really enjoy your road trips & showing us parts of this beautiful country that we might never be able to see any other way.
( I guess I am selfish because if you did not have the soft tires you could have been on the road showing us MORE )
