Tires

So I blew a tire on my truck.
Was on my way to have lunch with a friend and bang-dead tire.

I pull into a hotel parking lot and call Mike who picks me up for lunch.
At the end of lunch 1:40 I called Good Same Emergency Road
Service who tells me the truck will be there in 40 minutes to put on my spare.
After 50 minutes I called back and they said another 20 minutes.
20 minutes later 3pm he was there.
After dicking around forever he says he can not get the plug out which keeps dirt out of the mechanism that lowers the spare.
So we tow it,on a dolly cause it is all wheel drive,to Kal tire who informs me that the tire cannot be fixed(I knew that-it blew)
My truck is 6 years old and has the original tires on it.Goodyear eagles, 20" and fat mounted on chrome.
the spare is a Bridgestone,not so fat mounted on a black wheel.
The long and the short of it is I need 4 new tires at over $400.00 each.
I head to Barry's for beer cause I want to post pone this tire shit till Monday.
It's now 5:20
Have a nice day!
