i am serious as a heart attack.. but when i got home today with my 275/60R15 replacements.... i had TWO leaking tires. WTFing F???

one was a fast leak, one was slow. i mounted 3, left the fast one off, drove back down to pep boys. same problem as the 255 yesterday... there was some serial number tag stuck in the bead area, and sure enough, air was hissing right past it. they took them off the rims and peeled those tags out, and gave them a water test after airing them back up again.

i posted some new pics on my site... im totally stoked at how much better my truck looks now! next up... sanding and painting!!!
