Big Blue: 2005 GMC Yukon Denali

[Jake]

Ran over to "Arlington Tire" which is located a mile or so from my office. I am getting very good at maneuvering this truck through narrow spaces, because that's how all of Arlington is laid out. So, after squeezing between a brick wall and a Pepsi machine, I had the shop guys check out the one tire.



The manager guy goes "oh, you lucked out and got the 20s" - yes, they are blingy but tire prices are $$$.

My leak was apparently due to calcium buildup on the inside of the rim, thus preventing the tire from sealing properly. Mister Manager claims it's seen often enough on alloy wheels. Given that the Denali was driven year-round (aka wintertime) it didn't surprise him to see the buildup.



They cleaned it off and applied some sealant (photo is pre-cleaning) and now we see if it holds. They think it will. I hope it will.
