Yesterday I noticed the front of my pickup was low on one side. I looked. I had a flat tire.
I had been feeding hay twice a day to my cattle recently. Apparently I ran over a board out on the pasture even though I make sure I don't have boards like this laying around.
The repair shop said, and then I saw, the side of the tire was cracking in lots of places, in addition to having the hole from the nail. One could see the cracks on the inside of the tire and not the outside. Rather than fixing the hole and trusting the cracks wouldn't go all the way through the tire soon, I bought a used tire instead. As you can see, the flat tire's thread is getting low so it won't be super long before I replace all the tires. Next year maybe.
