    Check your tires please friends!!!

    I drive a "work" truck everyday and use my "good" truck for towing my boat, camper, and utility trailer... not realizing the time that has passed by. My F250 had about 30k miles on the tires but were about 4 yrs old. Saying that, my F250 is parked in the carport and out of the elements unless its being used. Well, looking a lil "aged", I decided it was time for a new set of tires. So off to get a new set today. Half way there, I had a blowout on the Interstate!!! Lunch hour, around Highland Road is Freakin Crazy!!!!
    My point is fellas, check your wheels cuz this was not fun! Changing a tire on the shoulder of the interstate is not something I wanna do again!! I was watchin what was coming more than what I was doing. Just take a minute every now and then and check your rides, glad it was not my wife...
