The Bills Chris. I went to 2 of their Super Bowl appearances. The one in Pasadena, and the one in Atlanta. They may not have won any of them, but no other team has gone to 4 in a row.

That reminds me, this one time i went on a service call to repair a tre on the read of a JD tractor.

Took the tire off and found a 3 foot tire bar, and a short sledge hammer (that we used sometimes for banging around) in the tire! Guy that fixed the tire before forgot both tools in the tire.

Yes, that is correct. PM on the way...I'm not a sponsor, no business talk allowed here.

We've had a 1/2 inch lag bolt go into one of those really wide semi tires that we run on our chopper boxes. And I thought that was pretty damn impressive.

Did you guys have to replace the whole tire? If so, that is expensive! I worked at a goodyear, where they have gold hidden somewhere in the tire, and for a wide tire like that, 425 or so, would cost you an arm, a leg, and either the left or right nut...

I'm happy the Patriots won on Monday night while I was there and they just pulled off another win today!!! They have too many players getting injured though, Monday Rodney Harrison, today Ellis Hobbs..........

The whole tire was replaced I think. But those tires aren't all that expensive.... after the semi trucks wore them down to the point of where they can't use them any more, then we get them cheap because all those tires need to do is hold up the wagon and keep it rolling. Quite a few of our wagons are rolling on used semi tires.

Tell me about it. Almost 3000 bucks for a set of good tires for my motor home. If I don't win the lottery I ain't never getting any. The ones I have now are just about done for and they are the 3rd set I've had on here since new.

Hey ya'll know what Bills stands for right?

Boy
I
Love
Losing
Superbowls

LOL. I'm actually not too big into sports myself, but I do like the Bills and Pats. The Raiders I really wouldn't say I hate, but damn, out here in California thier fan base is made up primarily of folks that would be easily taken for umm, thugs, ahhh, hooligans....

the last 425s I bought about 11yrs ago were $750 a piece plus taxes
I could get about 80k miles on them on the steering axle
