What bad luck!

For those of you who follow my exploits you will remember a month ago I got a flat and drove on it for a few miles,later that week in my drive way I got another flat,do you all remember?Today on the way back from my trip to the big pet shop,I felt my jeep pulling weird and it felt really loose,I pulled over and sure enough,guess what,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,another flat!Whoopeee!They have all been caused by stone chips and this is the 2nd time it happened on the same freaking road.

I am sorry!!!

now for the stupid question -- what are stone chips?? I will probably feel like a fool when I get the answer -- but asking anyway!!

[Kuli_Loach]

Sharp pieces of rocks that are just big and strong enough to cause flats.

[ladyoutlaw50]

Yep I do feel a bit foolish!! LOL LOL -- -Thanks for answering me!!!

[smaug]

Yup,thats the culprit proto.

[Kuli_Loach]

Sounds to me someone needs to pull a box blade down the road and then a roller.

The screwy thing is this,I havnt been on a stone road in months.

[Kuli_Loach]

Someone must be dragging them out onto the road. Is there a place on the main road where gravel is being dragged onto the road a lot?

[smaug]

I guess that could be just about anywhere,its very rural here.The other screwy thing is,I have had 4 flats in my 25 years of driving 3 have been in the past month.Im thinking that its the kind of tires I have ar prone to picking up stones.There not REAL aggressive just a little more then a road tire.
