HOLY CRAP! Heat. Never thought of it before. I was always thinking it was a structural integrity issue.
That settles it. No more high speed driving until I can replace all the rubber on my car. I think I've had at least two of my tires repaired.
Actually, I can turn my frown upside down... I really needed an excuse to get new rubber, and the 18 inch rims to go inside that new rubber. This makes me feel a lot better about the upgrade. I'll tell the wife it's a matter of personal safety!
She always lets me play the safety card. After all, she's been training me in husbandry for nearly 20 years now and has a lot of time, energy and emotion wrapped up in the investment.
