It hasnt been a real problem until late, when I got up this morning and it had 8lbs of pressure in it. So I called up the local guy and took it to him but he cant fix it because of the side skirts needing some kind of 'adapter' to lift it which he didnt have. Anyone know of any one around here who DOES have the proper tools to fix a flat???? Or should I just buy a fix-a-flat thing since I'm getting new tires in a week anyway?

Thanks LOL... the "adapter" at most shops consists of a block of wood (2x4) cut down to about 6 inches... i am offically a troll... so take my information and advice with a grain of salt. 08/15/2001 - 11/05/2001 : 1999 Ford Contour SVT : 170fwhp - 147.9 fwtq 07/17/2001 - __/__/____ : 2001 Roush Mustang GT Stage 1 11/05/2001 - __/__/____ : 2001 Ford F-150 SVT Lightning

I can fix this for you but now my shop is closed til monday, but sears is open on sundays till 5, try there. Don't buy the fix a flate, please!! Not only is it a pain to clean up when the new tire is put on ,but if it is not cleaned up all the way it can cause a balancing concern. 18" enkei cdr9 w/ kumho 225/40/18 5% limo all around alpine head unit jl xr series door speaks 2 jl w3 w/ppi 2600 and 1 farad cap b&m clear head lights dingless
