In June I walked out of the house going to work and noticed the left rear was flat. The tire store was a mile away so I drove there on the rim and had them put a new one on.

I've changed 2 for my wife this year. It was fun because they had lock nuts on them and she lost the damn key

I think I had 2 the year before.

2 years ago and I felt like a pu$$y.

It was right after the flood. I had a Ford F150. I could not figure out how to get to my spare. Had to call my brother who told me to YouTube it.

It was on Choctaw in the evening by I-110.

I called AAA they wouldn't answer.

So I call BR City Police to come watch me change the tire so I would get mugged and murdered.

2008 after driving 20 miles on a caliche road in big bend. There were no level spots to change the tire so it was an adventure. Some French exchange students stopped to help me which complicated matters even more.

In 2011, about 100 miles south of Prudhoe Bay. The road was so rough it was hard to notice and the tire shredded. That left 400+ miles to go with no spare, on a road notorious for flats and windshield damage (had that too). We made it, I'd do it again.

My wife and I both had flats on back to back days this summer, so I had to change tires twice. I found a little kitten dodging cars on 240/385 in Memphis changing mine, got a new pet

Me too baw.

I posted in the GMT that a kid was giving me a utility trailer with a shredded tire. I took it off, went and had a new one put on, re-installed it, then pulled it 38 miles home.

Don't change them unless necessary. I carry a plug kit and a small compressor powered by my cigarette lighter plug-in.

This only works if the offending nail/screw/metal is in the tread portion. Pull the nail, ream out the hole with the supplied rasp, slip a strip of the plug material in the tool then push it in far enough to go inside the tire and quickly pull on the tool to remove it but leave the plug in the tire. Then air up and be on your way.

I've done this dozens of times on both my truck and the wife's car with no problems.

About 10 years ago.

In a suit.

In the rain.
