Thanks no_worries. If I may could I trouble you a bit more?
ops: . I'll just preface it by saying I don't know anything about mechanics and as a company driver they don't want you touching the truck so I had no chance to learn. With my car I follow required maintenance to the letter and things go well. I dislike mechanics but I am interested in taking care on the maintenance.
Anyway, when the drive or trailer tires go, what's the thought on recap tires?. I always thought that everyone put them on but now I'm getting the impression that's the cheap but poor way to do it. Am I wrong in this? I know the big companies use them so I assume that if it makes financial sense for them it must be sound. But I could be wrong.
Also for the valve cover tops, you know where I can get those that you can place the air hose on top of them without unscrewing them? I don' t see how those work anyway or what's the point of having them rather than not having a cover but I assume there is one.
As most of my tires are new, I'm thinking when I get back home to get a spare and carry it. I read that on Steve's thread. Probably cheaper than buying one from the side of the road.
Thanks a lot for you help; I really appreciate it.
