On my way south on the I-5, my car developed a weird bouncy wump-wump. I slowed down and pulled to the shoulder to determine the source of the strange behavior. Then suddenly at 20 mph, WUMP! Blowout...
I'm certainly glad that I noticed the odd behavior and slowed. A blowout at 55 mph may have been a messy matter. As it happened, it was a matter of 20 minutes of using the broken jack and jack stands to remove the blowout, replacing with the original 1951 Goodyear spare tire. Obviously I did not choose to go very fast or very far on my antique spare tire. Fortunately, Los Angeles County is a wonderland of Detroit diaspora. In a short distance and with Jesse's help, we were able to find a Performance Plus Tire & Automotive Superstore.
Not only was Luis Sierra and Performance Plus able to help us with replacing all the tires, but they had them in stock! In a few short hours and a greasy-spoon luncheon, we were back on the road with brand new and economically priced tires. The car never drove better! We replaced the B.F. Goodrich tires, which took us across the country and were purchased in 2001. Since the car originally came with the black wall tires like the original spare, I had the tire guys turn the black-side outward. The car looks hella-cool!
