Chattanooga, TN area RX-7's

I've been waiting on putting tires on my '85 because I want to upgrade to 15'' wheels. The 13'' tires have been on it for many years. And have a lor of dry rot cracks in them. I have kept tire shine on them somewhat. But time and weather has dried them out.
I drove it the other day, played around a few minutes and brought it home. Parked it and shut it down and heard a hiss.. Left front was going flat!
At least it didn't pop while driving or leave me stranded somewhere. Had to find a used 13" to go back on it which isn't that easy anymore.
Got it fixed within a couple of hours of it's demise. And got a new car cover for it also. Another good day of happy motoring.
