That stuff is for boat hull repair.

 

I was hoping to get another season out of those tires. I'm a little torn what to do at this point.

I now have one bad tire, and two damaged wheels.

One wheel is bent, and one has a pinhole leak. I could try to get them repaired, or order 2 new wheels.

I still have 4 good tires. But, I don't like not having a matching spare. I also don't want to spend $400 to get a matching spare for tires I'm planning on replacing in a year. If I was certain that I would replace them with the same tires again, I'd just get a matching tire and keep it as the spare.

I was hoping to get one more season out of the Yokohamas. As much as I've liked them, I've been considering a set of Mickey Thompsons for the next "summer" tires.

For now, I think i'll put the Toyos back on and possibly run them all year this year. Or, at least until I make up my mind what to do with the Yokohamas.

 

Duct tape, duh.

 

Aren’t you a little hard on stuff?

 

I was thinking the same thing.

 

A real conundrum you got there.

 

The purpose of this thread is to help you make foolish financial decisions.
So, with that being said.
I think the best thing to do is get a set of brand new 5 tires and rims.
Don't forget that we are here to give you emotional/encouraging advice when spending your hard earned money on your vehicle.

 

This is the answer I was looking for.

Joking aside, I'll most likely get 2 new wheels and 5 tires. But, maybe not right away. I'm back and forth on tire size. I do like the 295's, and there are a lot of good tires in that size.

Going through Tigerton on the Toyos should be enlightening.

 

This hub assembly is pretty easy.
3 bolts on the back...
Old arse Buick LeSabre

 

Just pop it like a blister and carry on!

 

Just cover the entire garage in padded squares

 

As someone once said,,"If Dan can do it, you can do it".

 

Here's one salty variable that may contribute to wheel bearing/seal failure.

 

Not F&@$!×& around.

He does the navigating. The whole trip already planned out.

 

It would help keep it warmer in the winter. Not sure how well those mats hold up to salt, though.

They're dense and durable like the ones used in a gym or weight room. (not the flimsy kids mats.)
