They made it quite clear they didn't ever wanna see me again.

8.25 x 15, 16-ply, rated for 4000 lb. each.

I'll tell you, People are spoiled when they have tools and get use to do the easy jobs.

down the street from where I live(Mex) , there's a tire place and see them doing those kind of jobs all the times. Yes, there are still truck runnig those kind of wheels around here.

I know for a fact that's not an easy task.
