In one of the tire changes on my Trunda ended up with the heavier capacity tire and sure don't like them. Ruff.

Ken, just wondering what brand of tire were you having so many flats with? In talking with a couple of local tires shops understand and my experience supports it, that Uniroyal (is Goodrich their sister company?) have a tire that is terrible for picking up and going flat from the oddest things. Spark plugs, tooth off of hair pick, and for me, broken wrench, chanable screw driber bit, and one more I don't remember. Got away from their tires and also flats. kt

Years ago I subscribed to Consumer Reports. When they would never answer my question are the brands you reported on all you tested or just the top ones I gave up. Sherwin Williams was at that time the only paint sold in my part of the world they tested.

I did find the rates from their subscribers on autos to be very good and worth reading. But that is real life users and not lab test results. Not throwing off at lab test results, am sure are very accurate. kt

A few years ago bumped into a maintenance person from the Air Force Base that was here. He told me they found no advantage in using the synthetic based upon long time testing of their own. Not sure the numbers are right on it but he went on to say they changed the dino oil at 3,000 and the synthetic at 5,000 (this is the number I am not 100% sure on but it was at least 5,000). Odd, to me that is an advantage there. kt
