Default But did you have the Tire Irons?

Hi Harry

Knock on wood I've never had a flat on the road with any of the CMPs that I knew about. Discovered on all three trucks that original tires did not hold air but then again with the run flat tires didn't even know.

Without the tire irons there would not be much chance of changing a tube or patching one. But with them rims clean and painted I've had pretty good luck braking the beads free with a pair of tire irons to just keep walking around the tire a couple of times and the rim comes free.

So did you have the tire irons and brake the tire down on the side of the road or change to the spare?

Cheers Phil
