Shop Rat Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Bubba and Earl heard on the news about some big city folk stuffin' grass in their tires so they decided to try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a duster, driver takes it literally.Actually, it was my 1969 Valiant that went sooooo fast sideways, the tire bead pulled away from the rim just enough to mow some freeway ramp lawn. Oh...and then hit the light post. It drove really strangely on the way home... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest De Soto Frank Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Kind of looks like somebody backed-into it with one of the big tires on the Farmall (would have to be an H or M, as opposed to an A ) while it was "out to pasture"... I'm surprised that tire is holding air, with all that organic matter caught between the tire & rim... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Harwood Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Actually, that has happened to me. Spun my race car on the track into the grass and it came out looking like that. The tire still held air and didn't peel away from the rim, but that's exactly what happened here. The sidewall was peeled back enough that grass got wedged in. When I dismounted those tires, there was a surprising amount of grass wedged in between the rim and the tire bead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rwmerz Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Iread......fill your tire with straw and you can get an extra 5o miles tread life!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVE A Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 ..... When I dismounted those tires,......Now you did it!!! My mind went a little crazy and now I can't decide if it is proper to say you dismount a tire or do you demount a tire??? It seems that dismount is correct if it is something you do with your body, like dismount from a horse, but demount is used when you are performing an action on something like demounting a motor. (I could have left it with the phrase ...went a little crazy...) I guess I will defer to West on what is correct!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Skyking Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I was in the gas station business in the 60's and it was always referred to as dismount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 I worked as a tire buster/brake mechanic for years at Firestone and we referred to it as "dismount" the tires. I always giggled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
