Two years ago coming back from Annual
training I pulled itno the depot we were
going to overnight at and found the
tractor pulling the machine shop had a
flat on one of the duals. He had already
used his spare, not wanting to try the
final 200 miles the next day without a
spare we tossed the bum tire in the
HMVEE i was driving and headed for town.
The Les Schwab tire store took one look
and said no problem. Twenty minutes
later we were headed back to the depot.
IIRC the charge was around $98 on the
IMPACT card...
