[AT] Some background to your tire/ rim issue.

[Dennis Johnson]

So tonight I decided to take the “scenic” drive back to the Houston area from the Odessa area, which went south near the border and the east. I had to brake hard 2 places on Hwy 90 to miss deer.  Think I may have scared the guy following me, because he ended up giving me more space.

I left a bit of rubber on the pavement and the buck bounced his head off the right front fender of the old IH pickup. No harm done and the truck still looks good.

I didn't stop til I got to the yard to examine the vehicle. Could not find any damage, just a scuff mark in the dried mud on the rear driver side door. Its like they are playing chicken. Any animal with half a brain might think "run away from the noisy fast moving bright lights coming at me". But no, not the white tail deer. They are dead set on going straight on course with no diversions for anything.
