That you aren't embarrassed to admit
I'll start- I'm sure most have read my Rim Guard and Terra Grips threads. For some reason I could have sworn my tires were 23 x 8.5 x 12. Thus I ordered the amount of Rim Guard for that size and the Terra Grips. I put the Rim Guard in one tire then went to put the Terra Grips on- I couldn't get them on to save my life. Then I re-read the label on the tire- sure enough 23 x 10.5 x 12. Ugh. So now I have to return the Terra Grips, eat the return shipping cost and buy the right size.
In other news (likely old new for those already familiar with Rim Guard)- I broke the bead, replaced the valve stem with metal and poured 5 gallons into the tire, then aired it back up. It's
significantly heavier than the air filled tires- much more so than I could imagine. I did spill a little and it's pretty sticky and smelly but cleans up easy. According to the fitment chart, I have room to fit about 1.5 more gallons per tire, figure about 15 more lbs. Not sure if this is worth me going back to buy more though.
Fortunately no snow is in the forecast and my check valves are on their way back, so the cub should be running again by end of week.
