how many of you.....

[04xl]

how many of you guys who are running aftermarket rims 22s,24s,26, take there rims and tires off and put stock ones back on for trips or long drives? I took a drive to Vegas last year in my wifes car with 20s and of course got 2 flat tires in the middle of the Tehachipi Mountains. Not a tire shop near the town that carried the tire and If i wanted to wait for them to order it it would take 3-4 days. Long story short had to get towed, buy a old POS tire and put my doughnut on drive to the next town and get ripped off for 2 new 20 inch tires.... Taking the same drive next week and going to take my Denali on 24s with a Pirelli 40 series but not sure maybe put stocks back on.... What do you guys do? Any funny/ terrible flat tire stories with your aftermarket rims?

295 40 24 Pirelli... I guess if I am unlucky and get a flat tire its life not much I can do about that....

I've driven to vegas at least 6 times on my 22s. Not a single problem. Sounds like the tires were shit.

The old tires that i got flats were Nexen 225 35 20s...

Nexen tires are sh*t just like sunny and all those other weird names. My pops had sunny 305/45/22 on an expedition and they rode like we were on a wagon. Switched them out to falkens and rode a little better.

I've driven from FL to NC, 2,000 miles roundtrip, atleast 6 times in the suburban with the 24s. One trip while towing an enclosed trailer, no issues whatsoever! Kumho 295/35/24.
