But, don't you have to pay a percentage of the cost for the new one for how much thread of the old one is left?

I know! How depressing! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Saturday though. I sure hope we get nailed!

Oh and the tires, that was a little different since it was a private seller. I lucked out since he blew his half ton axles and upgraded to one ton's, so the rim bolt pattern didn't match his new hubs. Once in a lifetime deal.

I know my Bonneville tires have road hazzard through walmart. And that one is pro rated on tread depth. Oh, but at walmart you have to argue with the manager for an hour that a tire doesn't wear a bald ring around 80% of the tire normally and full tread on the other 20%.

I'm almost + it would be, if not I don't foresee the company being around very long.




Also, the walmart tires from what I've seen, are a lower grade than the rest. Like they just feel like a liter tire than a similar tire from diff manufacturer

Are you talking about walmarts house brand? Or are they even getting a lower grade good year than say Sears? I know for electronics its common for walmart to have lower grade electronics on certain items, its usually a number off in the model number, but look identical from the outside.

That's good to know. I need to get new tires for the girlfriend. I'll have to do some looking I guess.

Nope, just a valve stem style fill in the one fuel door. I'll only fill them when I load it with a trailer. I might even keep the small air tank in the box so I can add some air if I need to.
