[Flathead Fever]

My experience with tube type tires is when you get a nail in a tire it goes flat right away. There not like a tubeless tire that will have a slow leak with a nail in it. I like having authentic era tires on my old cars so if they had tubes originally, that's what I use. Doesn't mean I like tube-type tires.

I can't imagine how many tires I patched over 30-years at the phone company, thousands of them. I have my own tire machine and computerized tire balancer at home. I don't use them very much but there handy when I do. I recently I got my tractor stuck and when I pulled it out with my pickup, I got a cut in the sidewall of the pickup's tire. I had to replace the tire. It had been so long since I used the tire machine and balancer, it took a minute to remember how to use them again.
