Fun times in nasty conditions Dave, good to hear it was an enjoyable trip.

Always good to have a couple rods rigged up Rich

Sounds like your really enjoying the new job Bernie and congrats on the 2 smoke free months. Nice when everything goes as hoped.

Shouldn't be a problem then davey, I buy a new truck every 3-4 years

I have aluminum wheels for my summer tires George and another set of aluminums dedicated to the winter tires and none of them lose hardly any air in cold weather or warm. There's some fluctuations with pressure as the temperatures change but other than that their pretty darned good. I check the pressures about every 2 weeks and very seldom need to add air.

Your not far off Drew LOL

Thanks Connie, I'm gonna need some more birthday cake if this party continues

My truck radio is tuned to Sirius 50's rock and very seldom ever comes off it.

Back of the rims were done at the same time Bruce so both surfaces are nice & clean with a coating of anti seize.

I get them off as soon as possible and usually try for early April but that could be a bit optimistic this year considering the long range forecast LOL

Got it all done. Even though the winter wheels were only on a week or so, I pulled them all off. There was some rust on the hubs & wheels so I used a wire wheel on my drill and gave them a good cleaning, wiped them off and applied a coat of anti seize to all surfaces and re-installed the 4 wheels. Didn't take me too long to do the job and I should be good now and will hopefully have no issues when I put the summer wheels back on in a few months.

The records turned at 78 RPM's on the turntable Joey The smaller ones turned at 45 RPM's I can just imagine all the young guys on this board wondering what the heck records are

Good tip Bernie, never would have thought of that one.

I was by Chemong yesterday Jer and it was pretty well skimmed all the way across north of the Causeway

I've got the anti seize and will be removing the 4 winter tires in an hour, cleaning everything up and applying the lubricant. As said above, I've never had any major problems ever getting a wheel off but if it happened with a flat on the highway it wouldn't be too much fun. When I had the one stick on me last week I had to put an 8' 4x4 on the inside of the wheel and hit it with a sledge to get the darned thing off.

Will do George, thanks.

And alot less work & possible wheel damage too.

Thanks Bernie, I'll take your advice and apply some anti seize. As mentioned I've never had a problem before and it would be a real issue if it happened on the hiway.

Thanks spincast and your 100% correct on Kelvin.

I made a recent post about changing flat tires and now I have a question. I put my winter tires on last week and had a bit of trouble getting one of the summer wheels off presumably because of a bit of corrosion between the aluminum wheel and steel hub. Took me a few minutes with a bit of persuasion but wasn't a big deal in the garage but could be an issue on the side of the road with limited tools. Never had this issue before but I'm thinking a bit of anti seize or good grease between the 2 surfaces would eliminate the problem. What do you guys use ?? And FWIW I torque my wheels to the proper setting.

Thanks Chris, much appreciated as always.

Bernie, "A Summer Place" is my all time favorite instrumental. Really a beautiful tune to listen to.

We're practically neighbors, I'm 2 miles south of Stoney off 28.

Thanks Matt and the pleasure was all mine. Maybe the 4 of us can get together over the winter for dinner.

I don't have enough fingers & toes to count that high Joey
