I had to go get 4 new tires for my trailer over the weekend. It started out with just 1 tire with a goose egg on the side and ended with 4. Checked all the tires before I left for the tire shop. All looked good except for the one with the known issue. But the time I got to the shop 4 was needed, 1 goose egg, 1 flat and the other 2 tread separation, they may have started and just didn't noticed until I got there. As the shop was pulling the rims off one of the lug studs was spinning inside the hub and they had to break it off to get the wheel off. No big deal it happens, but they side they could not replace it because they would have don't have a way to look up what a replacement would be. So now I have to find a replacement lug stud and get it replaced. At least I know it will be done right.What the heck. OK 4 new ties is a good thing, I'd rather have the shop change them now rather than on the side of the highway. Hercules Power STRs for $106 a tire mounted balanced and a free alignment for anything I can bring in. Which is good cause my wife needs 2 new tires on her Town and Country so free alignment is already ready. Sorry for the long rant but this is my second year as a boat owner and I am realizing while still fun it is getting expensive. O well I guess it is he price we pay for fun in the sun, right?

Exactly what I was thinking. Plus I shouldn't have to do it on the side of the road. Keeping me safe and happy in the cab of my truck going down the road.
