well after 5 sets of these tyres i have finally been "let down"

Parked the car in the driveway last night and went to bed. next thing i know it is 5am in the morning and my old man comes in and wakes me and tells me i have a flat tyre

so up i get and it is still farking cold at 5am in the morning and out i go and low and behold front driver side is as flat as a tack!!!

now i would not have mided if i did it out on the trails but to go flat like that in the driveway!!!

so i had to pull the high lift of the wheel carrier then pull the spare off then jack it up and so on and so on....

of to the tyre shop today to see if it can be fixed!!!

Probably just some mud in the bead, common problem on all tyres.

Dont stress!

Wack some tubes in them. Stops them poping of the rim, so you can go harder.

This is a good way to stop your tyres losing air when you have mud in the beads - but if you get dirt and grit into to the tyre and it wears through the bead - it's going to cause you a lot of trouble - particularly out in the bush because you'll have to push the bead off, remove the tube and then either fix the tube, or fit a valve stem...
