How easy is it to get a knife into a tire? Seems like a lot of work.

Think I'd use a cordless drill.


Yep, actually drove to all of these places---in the last eight years. Missed Rhode Island and New Jersey.

Try the place you bought them. They might be covered by a road hazard warranty. It is worth a try, and I have done it many years ago whaen it happened to me.

By the way...what did you do to your neighbor?


Our house is right next to our neighbors and his son lives with mommy and daddy and he parks directly in front of the house in front of the hedges. That's fine but it is a public street. When he isn't home I park there. That night he (as some think) came home drunk and had to park on the gravel road (street) a bit farther away from his parents home. The next morning we had flat tires. Only mine and my girl friends. The only ones on the street that have any problems is the neighbors next door.

What did Daddy have to say when you talked to him?

Nut doesn't fall far from the tree. iI didn't talk to anyone of them He is 40. Just installing cameras. I will not approach them. Just got the tires fixed and will set a trap for him to do it again once the cameras are set. Wil not park there until cameras are set. have to add electric and so forth. Little by little. Also to give him the idea that I am backed off him. Debating to just get the film after he does it again and show it to him and tell him to pay for all the tires or just go to court without confronting him. I once used film to have a 75 year old woman who hit my son (then he was 12) and the police sided with her until they found out I had it on film. Then they backed off.

All of the tubeless tires on my John Deere have tubes in them...keeps the ballast liquid from rusting the steel wheels.



just a suggestion here... the rims will last longer when filled with the liquid calcium chloride without tubes in them, as long as there is no bear metal and enough liquid to completely cover the rims so they are not expose to air and the liquid... if it is a full sized garden tractor, the tube cost about as much as a replacement rim anyway (or it did last time I checked)... when I replaced my liquid filled tubeless tires on my JD the inside of the rims were in better condition than the outside after many years...

by the same token when I removed a tube tire on the other JD the rims needed sand blasted and painted and the metal was pitted pretty bad... I know that doesn’t sound right it was my experience…

its true... nothing runs like a deere...

By all means make a police report so you will have a record of it...you can tell them who you suspect...if you go the insurance way you'll need a police report for sure...

That was the first thing we did. Then started to put up the cameras. Then if he gives us more problems I suspect his tires are made out of rubber as well. (glass house's saying) Once I have him doing it on tape again.

I have two of those game cameras. They have infa-red flash so you can't see the flash. Takes pictures by motion detection on an SD card. When not useing them for hunting. I use one in the driveway it catches all the driveway and front of the house, the other one catches the back of the house and entry to my barn. They work really well and can be used for different applications.

A good 2-3" knife that's been properly sharpened will go through the very thin plys of a side wall with little to no effort. Remember, your tread maybe 10 ply, but your sidewall is like 2-3 ply with Radials, only Bias tires had the same number of plys in the sidewalls as it did the tread.
