Ya Learn Something New Every Day
I learned today that the slots in the hubcaps of my Civic need to be aligned with the valve stems, or you can't fill the tires with air.
When I bought snow tires at the beginning of the winter, I got new rims with them. This allowed me, today, all by my lonesome self, to swap off the snow tires and swap back on the regular tires. I only put snows on the front, so it was only two tires. I finished the job, including remembering to grease the bolts, and was just about to pat myself on the back for a job well done, when I remembered that one of the regular tires was missing a cover on the valve stem. So I took the cover off of one of the snows, and went to put it on. No stem. No stem on the other wheel either. Had to remove the lug nuts, rotate the hub caps, and screw the wheels back on. Sheesh.
Well, that's a lesson I won't soon forget...
