Wayne,is there a calculator to tell me exactly how many 1/2" tek-screws from a construction site,that the average worn-out, radial truck tire will be able to absorb before giving up the ghost?

The calculator wants to know what size, brand and style of tire? It also wants to know mileage and/or tread depth and weight of vehicle?

LOL.. We says it only takes one.... you might have a couple 357 holes from me too... But just one screw!
