Here is a tip if you don't have a compressor at home. I got a air tank from Sears for under $20. It holds enough air to top off the tires. This will keep you from searching for the one local gas station that still has air. Also,handy if you get a nail and wake up to an almost flat tire.

Another, tip crawl under your PT and check you spare tire pressure. No one ever does. Mine was only 8 psi when I first checked it. I hope I never need it but It will save time and money if I do.

with all this rain my drive way is all washed out ( it is 1/2 mile long and gravel) anyway while trying to go "UP THE DRIVE" this morning i busted a fount tire( and busted is the correct term i actually dropped it off ina big hole and it just sliced the tire) got the car up to our workshop and was going to put on the spare----HOWEVER---------------


First i was not sure where it was
second not sure how to get it off car
and third after i found it im pretty sure it was flat

so i got in my truck and drove it to work going to put on a new set of skins tomorrow
