I got back from the run at Hawk's Pride and noticed that my drivers rear tire kept going low about every 2 days.. So today I take soapy water to it and can't find any leaks in the tread.. so I sprayed the side and I'll be damned if the bead wasn;t leaking in like 15 places!! ![:blink:](//storage.proboards.com/3613987/images/K5XMGO2Vc5hob9jKuMJo.png) Took it over to Mike's and he busted the bead to find out that mud and dirt had gotten INSIDE the bead causing it to leak... I guess it flexed out enough that it let mud inside and was letting air out once it dried... Guess it's getting time for beadlocks! ![:punk:](//storage.proboards.com/3613987/images/3KZmHO3UZDby07SoKuid.gif)

Then went to wash Big Sexy and I'll be damned if I didn't break the valve stem off with the car wash brush!! ![:doh:](//storage.proboards.com/3613987/images/7Q5Yd6fb9Ibf6Yp423Ai.gif) That's 3 tire issues in one week for those counting! Something tells me I need to find a spare for the trailer before this wknd!! ![:blink:](//storage.proboards.com/3613987/images/K5XMGO2Vc5hob9jKuMJo.png)

what's the bolt pattern? would my trailer spare work? I think it's 5x4.5... I'll have to check tomorrow.. There's a tire shop in SH that sells good used tires for like $35... may go pick one up and just find a wheel to fit it...
