2 New Tires and tubes Move valve hole patch old hole $1000.
Mine are 1 1/2 year old and the calcium ate the valve stem.
I took the tire off 4-600 lbs; the dealer put in a new tube charged $85.00 said 1/2 price.
I told him the last ones were 20 years old, he said what lasts now, we have complained to our source to no avail, but that's china junk for you and we can't guarantee it.
 
Well, Sunday I invited family and friends over for a cookout. My niece begins high school next year, and that meant making out a schedule of classes. My sister and brother-in-law met with the principal, and his advice for a foreign language was Chinese because that’s what is predicted as a dominant language down the road. When I was a kid, the foreign languages offered were German, French, Spanish, and Latin. At this school, French has been dropped and replaced by Chinese because in rural Indiana, its predicted to become a dominant language down the road at some point.

Son of a gun. Son of a gun. Son of a gun. May not be the principal's fault or idea, but if I had been told that communist Chinese was expected to become a dominant language in rural Indiana, USA during a serious conversation with an "educator", I'd have blown more than a few gaskets and inner tubes.

"Where will it end"

When we in all North America are a Third World Continent, or the top 4-5 people control all the wealth.

well - maybe not that bad ?
 
Mark - IN,
Sad state of affairs, you would think the politicians would know what's happening and do something about this slide to the poor house.

We did have protection by import and export quotas, now it's open for business Wal-mart and Costco shoppers.

I refuse to use computer banking or cashless shopping, and I refused to learn French (useless in France) now I refuse to learn Chineese.
 
I've ran into the same problem a couple times already. Brass plated STEEL valve cores...Ca/Cl dissolves 'em. Replacement cores don't quite seal up right. Damn Chinese are gonna win a war and never fire a shot.
 
Quit cryin and fix it you,

It was a WARNING - Not Cryin - Did get it fixed as mentioned, - My tire is small in comparison to some tractors.

The WARNING is Talk to the tire guy before somone else spend $ BIGGER Bucks than I did, OR they might use RV Antifreeze.
 
I guess you can expect corrosion if your running salt water. If you must use fluid in your tires run beet juice or antifreeze, really saves rims. I've always used cast weight as my dad and grandfather did before me. Funny thing I don't have a bit of rust on any of my tractor rims, even my 53 Super M my grandfather bought new. no leaks either.
 
well it is not just walmart and costco.
no tv manufacturers left,computers and a whole bunch of other things before walmart and costco started.they just seen the trend earlier.
