...meaning stuffed some big mickeys out back. Today i got flat number 5 in the back. Im running 15x12 Cragar SS's with 29x15x15 in sportsmans. I have used MTs reccomended tube,$65, only to have it wrinkle up inside the tire and go flat, that happened twice on the passenger side and once on the drivers, the $10 tube worked the longest but went flat n 3 months on the passenger side, and the new $20 tube lasted roughly 5 miles again passenger side. has anybody else had this problem w/ the wider tires. oh this last flat happened real fast and the tire shifted over to the trailing arm and put a big gash down the side wall of the tire! I am about fed up with it!

The probable cuase fo the flat...
