He used to be 140#s before his wife died, but he lost alittle weight. Still mean as a Junk Yard Dog if you mess with him or his new Condo (my vette). Its the look he gives you when you are where you are not supposed to be that scares people, normally he is as friendly as a poodle.... mess with the property and reep the WIRLWIND!

I did find one, mine went flat on me, disintegrated the sidewalls. It cost me about $125.00 w/mount & (lousy) balance at a Firestone tire store. Bridgestone makes them [calls them a Dayton] I believe, that might help you in your area. I bought mine late spring. At that time, it wasn't discontinued. Try a Google on Dayton Daytona & it'll come up, that's how I did my research.

Also, I filed my rim, 1st with a medium file to knock down high ridges, 2nd file was fine, to smooth out and flatten the craters left. Mine hit pavement when the carcass took off into the guardrail.
I fielt the same thing, a little loose, no problem. The Wife kept saying something was wrong, pull over. I thought it was the road, until the carcass took off.

Thanks all for your help. I did find a dealer that had one tire left. I should get it UPS in a couple of days.

That suks. Since those tires have been "damaged" by being run flat, You should really replace all four. The sidewall brusing will never repair itself and to drive those tires over 45 is asking for trouble. IMHO
