Default the HAWGS are NOT invinsible...

headed out to the parking lot about a half an hour ago or so for work to find my driver side front flat as can be! i gave the truck hell last week 4 wheeling, not surprised really. seems it has a leak around the bead, hope it's just some dirt or other debris crammed in there. at 250 bucks a pop i don't need to be replacing one yet! have a little cigarette lighter powered pump filling it up as i wait in here. guess something about this cold snap triggered it (got down to the high 30's last night). keep ya'll posted, may relent my absolutely loving view of hawgs if it turns out to be a pinhole in the oh so thick sidewall...

So how long DID it take to fill that tire wih that little pump ?? Is that one of hose $30 pumps ?? If so you may want to carry a spare pump. Fill that tire up a couple of times and that pump will be shot.

took about a half hour to pump it up enough just to drive to a decent gas station pump. put about 70 lbs. in it to try and seal it, i'll let it sit overnight and back it off tomorrow. if that doesn't work, guess i'll have to have it broken down, cleaned and re inflated.
