Looks like I need to get all my tire ills sorted today. In no particular order:
The spare on my 2008 4runner is giving me a low air, I suspect the battery in the TPMS is just bad. Recently bought a new set of Yokohama's for it and Discount Tire said they wouldn't touch the spare, because it was 6 years old. They said they'd sell me a new tire though. What a crock. It makes me want to make this the last set of tires I buy from Discount, because of said policy. The only thing that keeps me going back to them is I travel a lot, so when I get a road hazard failure, it's easy to find one of their shops and get it repaired or to get my free tire rotations.
The Kubota L3800 has a leak on the left front. It's just a small hole and can be easily patched.
I got a flat on the Load Trail trailer the other week and replaced it with the spare. Got it home and just noticed it has another flat tire. So, 2 tires to get repaired. What is it with trailer tires? These are all load E quality tires. Just seems like trailer tires are always looking for an excuse to fail. (same with trailer lights!)
I'll throw them all in the truck and run them up to the small tire shop up the road. They always do a good job with repairs, but they don't do much in new tire sales.
