Hello List and Joe, Well seem like it has turned out that a lot of list
members has had this problem(And who knows what other tidbit are out there,
Come on Guys Share) but The Mighty Joe Young had the first correct answer at
a amazing time of 6.14 A.M. The new flaps was left folded up inside the
tires and the shaking caused a hole in the tube. For the guys that like to
know what things costs, the two new tubes and the tires breakdown and
mounting ran close to 70.00 here in South Ga.Thanks for all the replies.
