[AT] tire tools was brand

[Stephen Offiler]

I have been installing tubes in any of those small tubeless tires that
start giving me trouble.  At this point, I've done three log splitters
(mine, plus two more that I sometimes maintain for friends), a wheelbarrow
or two, and my snowblower.  Then I put Slime in the tube.  (A side-note on
that, if you buy Slime, pay attention because they sell different formulas
for tubeless and for tubes.)
