[AT] OT Sowing wheat and Aircraft Tires for trailer

[Cecil R Bearden]

I started to sow my wheat field today. However, when I went to get seed 
with my grain cart, I checked the 16 ply Gensco tires before leaving and 
they were well inflated. These are Gensco aircraft tires that I ordered 
as a complete assembly with tire, wheel, and Gensco stop leak.  However, 
of the 8 tires and wheels w/ stop leak I have ordered over the past 3 
years, I have found 4 to not have stop leak installed.  The moment I 
found this our has never been at an opportune time.  This time it cost 
me 2 hours and a request for help from my wife!  She had to wait with 
the truck and grain cart while I went back home,  and found one of the 
old wheels and tires that was cracked, weathered, and looked like it 
would not make 300 ft.but still holding air. It made the 5 miles back 
home with no problem.  I could have chewed nails to relax when this 
happened!!!!

If you order tires from Gensco, don't bother with the stop leak, just 
add your own at home.  It seems that Mediocrity is the norm for business 
these days.

Aircraft tires are vented at the bead.  I was told by a friend who had 
used a lot of aircraft tires that you had to use tubes or stop leak or 
they would leak down.   I attached a couple of shots of the loaded 
trailer it had 67 bushels of wheat on board.
