After a discussion with the manager, they agree to replace the tire for free, given the issues it has had. Without boring you, it has been back a couple of times to Walmart, where she bought it, and first they told her nothing was wrong with the tire, then they fixed the tire stem and said they had the problem solved. Then this last time it was completely flat, and would not take any air. Of course, she has no spare tire, so we have it towed to Walmart.
So she takes it home with the new tire, and in one day, it goes flat again. I'm now thinking that her rim may be part of the problem, or maybe even the entire problem. So I decide to remedy the situation myself. I run to Harbor Freight to pick up some items that she does not have simply to take the tire off the car. $86 later, I'm wondering what the heck I'm doing since its a $50 tire. I'm not kidding about the price, it's a Dextero Tire, 14 in and the price was $50, plus the add-ons.
Sometimes I amaze myself with my lack of good judgment. But it will be fun to have a new jack, new four-way lug wrench, and new air compressor. I think that will make four air compressors I have, although two of them are currently in Atlanta. My son had one he did not tell me about until after I got back home.
Actually, now that I think of it I also have an extra jack.
What a disaster.
