Well folks, i certainly learned a lot in this conversation.
Turns out it's all moot, the shop just called to tell me the slow leak on one of my GOOD front tires is a small sidewall puncture so i ordered two more Michelins. - PAINFUL
Well, that's good you have it figured out.
But don't feel bad about 2 of them, I have to order 6 Michelins!
The painful part is paying good money for Michelins....
Not sure about y'alls parts, but if getting "stock" size pavement pounder tires, especially on an old truck that may have 16" or 17" wheels, generally you can find a set of new or good tread newer takeoff wheels and tires combo for less than a set of new new tires.
If I'm just looking for new rubber that's generally what I'll do even if it means selling the old rims and tires. Someone will always buy a complete set, although if you have 2 mismatches and a puncture, the whole mess really aint worth shizz unless the wheels are real nice.
