free 285/40/17 Firestone Firehawk SZ50 EP
Ended up losing one today on the way to work to a blade from a utility knife. Insta-flat at 55 mph, so place to stop, to big a hole to fix. Mondays...
Firestone quit making these, so can't match it for replacement. Tread is about 50% or so. Free to anyone who may want it.

Har Har, hell no. I did get a Bill Engvell moment when an old timer from the shop I pulled off near came out to "lend a hand." With an inch long hole through the tire, it was 110% flat. I'm setting the jack and he squats down next to me and I knew it was coming. I had to bite my lip so hard....
"So, got a flat tire?"
in my head... "Nope, it's a new style of tire and I'm flipping it over to use the round side. Here's your sign."

I'm trying to figure out a good use for that tire - I might have one but need to figure some tree-ground clearance

Oh, and I failed to mention this kindly man relocated the jack for me while I was getting the spare out. I didn't notice until I got the car partway up. Fortunately it didn't bend the sheetmetal too bad. Ugh. Dangit! I can't get started on this again or I'll be bitching about it for another 3 hours!
