Very good advice. I'm proud of you. Even though you can't lift the spare
you know how to do it. And trust me there are plenty of people out there
that don't have a clue. If I had no choice I would change a flat tire.
But if I was anywhere close to hubby he would be getting the call to do
it. Then again he does it for a living.

Joanna, ask your sweetheart if he's aware of the new tire/valve dilemma.
Wonder if it's just a bad lot locally or a problem all over the place? [ I
had help with dilemma; SpellCheck is my friend.] Polly

Valves are not necessarily made by the same people that make the tires.
Shops order the valves and use them on all tires. They are a seperate
product. But he says no he hasn't heard of anything in Canada.

Oh I didn't say *I* was cranky; I'd just noticed that we have a lurker
growling about OTs. For me, the OT messages here are just everything:
entertaining, informing sometimes just plain outrageous. I never miss one.
