I hope those tyres were for practice and not used on a car. I don't even t hink they are fit for a swimming hole swing. Do something useful. Cut the tires artistically and then turn them inside out They make a nice raised bed "flower pot". Have two in the yard.
You know about the "Lincoln's head" test with a penny for those that can't read a ruler?
My father used to do that sort of junk back in the 60's. In fact, he used a bumper jack to break the bead. I doubt I'd even try with an alloy rim.
I patched a few tires when I was unable to drive even. Dad liked lighting the "glue" in the kit for doing inner tubes or the larger inside patches.
The holes I got were from things like a 1/2" diameter bolt. A broken bottle in a parking lot slashed the sidewall too. An icepick poke in the sidewal l. One tire got flat when the road disapeared. The trim rings went flying on 3 wheels and the rim got bent. Then there was the time I took a tire o ff on two pieces slit down the center. I won;t explain that one.
When I hydroplaned for about 40 feet, I learned the importance of picking t he right tire. Those were a Dunlap tire - never again.
So, when it was time to buy tires I did a LOT of research and bought the Pi relli P4000, then P4 and the P400 which are all excellent tires with good v alue and performance, No one stocks them, but my car dealership can have t hem within a day.
Gone are the simple nails and don't do stupid things. Keep an eye on the t ire wear. On one vehicle I had the original front brake calipers for 17 y ears, $140K miles.
A co-worker said he was afraid to drive with me and he had the habit of dri ving in excess of 90 mph on a freeway. He claimed I went around corners to o fast. the Pirelli's have tread on that sidewall. At one point in my lif e I took a corner who's max safe speed was 15 mph at 50 mph. That's a big test for the tires, the vehicle and the driver.
LE pulled me over and said to be careful in the snow. I was. I later foun d him in a snow bank.
Buy a decent set of tires and monitor the tire wear AND at least check and modify the air pressure 2x/year when the temperatures change.
Never had AAA and personally I was towed really once and that should never have happened. I asked the dealership to check the battery in May and the dealership said it was good and I used a Hygrometer in the previous Jan and said i need to think about replacing the battery. I got to a destination about 40 miles away from home and the car did not start. I did my thing for an hour and it started again. Same thing. About an hour and it would sta rt again. I called the Ins company, They said a belt snapped and the bat tery was good. In two days, i was replacing the battery,
I do remember doing a fuel pump change in a development miles from home whe n I was 20 or so. Now that job is like $1000 and it;s in the tank.
One time the ignition module died and I was convenient near a junk yard. A bought a module close enough and drove home 40 miles.
