I prematurely sold my air compressor in anticipation of buying a new one, and now I am without...so naturally my trailer tires were flat and I had no way to inflate them! It was a chore getting 4 rims and tires and 2 kids into my girlfriends poor Murano!

Tires $1,400.00
Roof rack Free
Rim Powder coat $324.00
Tire removal $35.00
Tire mount and balance $75.00

Wow, I fixed it as well. Good catch. The kids are always correcting me for the same mistake. I used to have an Expedition also, it was an awesome vehicle but reliability was non-existent....too bad.

Ha, I caught that too but realized he meant a WARRANTY for each tire.


Great looking ride and I really like the coated rims and tires combo. Really looks awesome. Keep 'em coming!

Thanks NC, I like to keep them involved and they love to help. If it keeps us spending time together I'm all for it, I intended Adventuro-Us to be a family endeavor from the beginning and it seems to be working out perfectly.

There weren't any caps when I got it. I had some big rims on my old truck and it had caps over the hubs, I prefer to leave them off, but now that all looks a little crusty compared to the freshened up rims!
