As my husband pulled from the pump to the dump station, an observer pointed out a low tire. It had a sharp curved piece of metal imbedded in the tread. The adjacent truck shop was closed. After trying evaluate our dilemna, we went inside and purchased one of those tire plug kits. We read the directions and Jimmy wasn’t strong enough to push the plug in. A young man came to our rescue and did a great job. It worked! I marked the rim with a piece of tape and I still check it over 3-1/2 years and 20,000 miles later. 😊 Bonnie Cuddihyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05743265234366327029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2154511856319682113.post-47303513811030710752018-06-16T10:14:27.449-07:002018-06-16T10:14:27.449-07:00Anon,
