      I had a ride like that years ago thanks to the coating they use to "pop" 'em out of the mold. Don't know if that is still the case, but I break them in easy now. Glad to hear you are O.K.

        I just couldn't wait to get away from the BS going on in my house, usualy I don't make mistakes like this, I had planned on doing it,cleaning the tire. but soon it will be just me, after 6 years of giving all I have to give.Again,nothing left
