I used to run retreads on the Dodge Swinger I had back in the day...some how my tires kept wearing out from that spinning and smoking action...:) Spent a lot of my earnings from sacking groceries. I got real good at changing clutches and mounting tires. The folks at the recap shop got to know me real well...:)
