Default Tire Surprise

Took a look at my spare tire today just to see the condition of the spare for safety sake. Its the original Firestone. And I lost 10 pounds of gravel that was in there too!

Mine has the firestone in there also. I took it out, cleaned it all up, and put some air in.... and it was leaking all around the bead. So I just put it back up in there flat.

This is why I have a towing service.
