A little update on the 54 which has been hibernating over winter. I needed to move to car a couple of weekends ago to get the trashcans out when I discovered a flat tire. I've never had issues with the tires. Upon re-inflation I observed a bubble in the side wall near the bead.
Only thing I can figure is that it got damaged when the tires were demounted and remounted when the valve stems were replaced. But it's been like 3+ months, so not a chance in hell I could prove it with the tire shop.
Le sigh. So I had to bite the bullet and order a new tire. I once again ordered from Summit Racing as then its free shipping, yet still shipped directly from Coker.
When I ordered from Summit, it was telling me a 3 month back order. So I was glad I discovered the tire issue now and not at the start of the spring/summer driving season. Also, the tires have nearly doubled in price since I originally bought them 5 years ago.
The new tire showed up in less that 9 days. So that's a plus.
