Ugg, a flat!
So, pulled the 6-er out of hibernation and she was sitting on a flat - front passanger side. Not sure at what point over the winter the tire deflated. I pumped the tire full of air and it's holding just fine (been 2 days) but now I'm worried about the tire. I haven't taken it for a drive yet.
To my question - what are the odds that tire is ok? Should I be shopping for replacements?

My thoughts... the tire went flat for a reason. Usually you only lose a couple lbs over winter and top them up. So there is a reason for it to go right flat...maybe bad valve stem, poor seal to rim, tiny leak in tire, etc.

I spent 20 years in the tire biz, and if I had a nickel for every time I heard that, I'd be a rich man..lol.. And let's not forget the other favourite one.. "Don't sell me any of those square tires"
But as said a few posts before, soapy water works best for finding a leak..
