I was waiting in the lounge of the truck shop at the Petro in Effingham years ago when a driver came in and asked for the boss of the tire division. Boss came up front and the driver told him "I've got a tire out on my trailer goin bad that is warrantee. Not gonna argue with you, just replace it and all will be good. Damn thing hopped like crazy on my steer so I moved it to the wagon" Atypical instantly the tire guy starts talking as he walks around the counter that "it's out of balance, shocks, springs, alignment..." Driver looks at me grins and says "You're gonna wanna see this" Never one to miss out, I get up and follow, as the tire guy is still babbling bullshit about how it's anything but the tire, must be rim, yadda yadda, cause he's never actually seen a bad tire" and that's it, he just stopped talking. His jaw was wide open looking at this tire in disbelief, and I started laughing my ass off!!! "No such thing as a bad tire, that's rich!!! You dumb shi#t." I coughed out between laughs. I swear to god, there protruding out of the tread of the tire was a glove. No shi#t, I wouldn't believe it if I didn't see it, the tread finally wore down enough for it to start sticking through. my only thought is: someone must have set their glove(s) on the tire, went for a break or got distracted, then continued adding the layers right over the glove. It was molded INTO the tire! Doubtfully your problem, probably won't help, but it shows that the people making tires are people too...and they make mistakes everyday just like we do as well...and I still laugh every time I think of that tire guy blabbering all the things wrong with a truck but not the precious tire | |||
