[Mg-t] MG TD Tires

[Lew Palmer]

I recently had 5 new Nexen 650/15s mounted on the TD. I argued that they
needed tubes but the guy at TireProz was so adamant that I agreed to go
without. One day later 3 of the 5 were flat and they had the guts to charge
me $110 to dismount, remount with the tubes I supplied, and rebalance them
(even though I told them not to as I was going to be use the Innovative
Balancing system) (http://innovativebalancing.com/). Last time I use
TireProz.

Cheers,
Lew Palmer

Totally agree with you, Bob.  Just put on a new set of Kumho tires as 
tubeless.  BTW, when's the last time someone tried to get a tube-type  
flat repaired?
