Guess where this Big UGLY Mother came from.

It's only through the rubber. Those angles don't show it, but where it came out the side is the same depth as the tread grooves. It did not penetrate any of the belts. I wouldn't do a long trip on it, or ride interstate, but I think it will be okay riding six miles at less than 55mph. Until I get a good tire gauge to track the pressure, I'm driving the truck to work. I should be able to get new tires with my next paycheck.

So where's a good place to get tires in Philly?
I know there was a great internet deal on Pirelli Angels, but I don't want to save $50 by buying online only to spend $100 to have them mounted.

I've been using Mount Holley Powersport on rt38 in NJ. The last 2 times I had them change tires they did both wheels in under 30 minutes over my lunch break

Yeah, there's no way I'd let anyone take the wheels off my bike. I HATE letting them mount tires, and if I had the money, I'd buy a machine to do it myself.

Got a grill?

I'll take you up on that offer, but have to wait till closer to next payday (the 10th) to order. Jake Wilson has free shipping and $220 for the set.

under $100 at Harbor Freight, another $30 for Mojo blocks and you'll never pay someone else to change your tire again.

Thats quite a deal. Especially since no one but me could scratch my wheels. Thats my biggest fear with letting someone else do it.
