Ughh. That is exactly my point. V is up to 149mph - quite fast, huh? And H is up to 130mph - still cruising, right? If they will fix my V rated tire, I'm pretty sure I can kill myself at 148.9mph. If they will fix my H rated tire, I'm still pretty certain 129.9mph can do me in. Soooo, their "logic" of not repairing a Z rated tire because you might later go "really super fast" and kill yourself doesn't float.

Good lord, stop while you're behind. And once you have stopped, make a public apology for being an idiot in my thread.

If you're not tasked with Moderating here, including a section that stirs the pot 2nd only to religious debates, don't fucking chime in...... that is all. The real reason that I made this post is this: 80% of what I read in that section is posted by people that obviously have not researched the issues any further than reading CNN and Foxnews, and then regurgitating whatever hyped-up headline they read that day. All of this in an attempt to say, "Ha. See? Your party/candidate/ideas are dumb. Mine are right!" It got old a month ago. On a side note - well, 2 actually: - I agree with most of what you have posted in that section. - It's all in fun... for me, anyways.

You're right. That's why there are political web forums.

That at 12:01 a.m. the day after the elections, the Political section of CR is closed forever. That is all.

Civil Rights violation? Come the fuck on. Some piece of shit got fired for doing something hurtful and stupid. End of story. "None of us got any sleep just thinking about it." ... me smells lawsuit.

To everyone except him.

If no one ever wanted to be different than everyone else, we would not have an automotive aftermarket and we would all be driving a model T.

This logic is, in my opinion, completely and 100% ignorant. And, you (the collective you) will never convince me the policy was created for any other reason than to make money selling a new tire, mounting, balancing, stems, disposal, warranty, etc. I could push the limits of ANY rating of tire after Walmart has repaired it and wrap myself around a tree. Why stop at Z rating? How about V, or even H?

Absolutely. I would too. How about this approach... you e-mail the guy and tell him you are interested in buying a pic or 2 from him if he gets some good ones.

Snap a quick pic pretty please. If it looks alright and the 2 should be direct bolt-ons, then lets do this thing! Oh, and I expect a 6-pack wrapped around that $25.

Ha, true. The ending to the story is that they drove in my dad's vette to a Napa the next day and bought a plug kit and did it themselves in the hotel parking lot... in Illinois. And it's still holding air just fine.

From that link, I. SUMMARY STATEMENT REPAIR A Goodyear, Dunlop or Kelly-Springfield manufactured speed-rated tire may be repaired to correct a commonly repairable nail hole puncture in the tread area only, but proper materials and procedures must be applied. INCORRECT OR IMPROPER REPAIR WILL RESULT IN THE TIRE NO LONGER BEING SPEED-RATED BY GOODYEAR, and the warranty may also be affected. The puncture in question here was a small, straight-in nail hole about 3" from the inner bead. Nice link by the way.

Any link to proof of this? I ask in a sincere really-wanting-to-know tone, not being a smartass. None of the salesmen I ever spoke to about their lines of tires ever mentioned this fact. And for all parties, again, they asked Walmart to patch it. And for anyone doubting plugs, look up the video where Tech (company name) plugged the SIDEWALL of a tire something like 60 times and then drove it for 100,000 miles.

$17 for the Hoochie? Damn. It HAS been a long time since I went to a Haunted House.

Anthony, what condition is your exhaust in?

Scott, good points, except my family wanted the tire patched (not plugged). On a side note, I plugged an easy 2,000 tires back in the day, and I had exactly 0 failures or leaks.

Sorry, wasn't trying to threadjack. Here are a couple. http://www.nurkvinny.com/2006_Ram.htm

It went something like this... "Do you people have any clue how retarded you sound? Can I speak to someone that knows a car from their asshole?" <<<Think Hank Hill trying to buy a hammer at Megalomart>>> "We don't want any trouble Sir. If you don't like our rules, that are for your own safety, then leave."

BTW, here's a pic of the Flowmaster kit I used. http://www.nurkvinny.com/images/Vehicles/Trucks/2002_Ram/DSC00013.JPG

I would not. Ever. My Mom and Dad and my Aunt and Uncle were on a 1000 mile Corvette Vest Cruise, and my Aunt's anniversary Vette got a flat. Walmart was the only option within 100 miles. They (the 25 year old manager) told my Dad (the 62 year old owner of a tire shop for that past 35 years) that it was impossible to repair the Z-rated rubber because it was so soft. But, they could of course, get her right in and put a new tire on. Discuss.

You don't want them; they're off a 2005. I am looking for a set of 06-08 chromed rims right now myself.

Discuss.

But, they're worth it. http://www.nurkvinny.com/images/CR/DSCN2447MED.jpg
