I believe I am the Flat Tire Queen, having had 8 flat tires in the past 18
months. <BG> I have 3 bias-ply tires and 1 radial on my trailer.  All 3
bias-ply tires have had flats, but so far <knock on wood> the radial
hasn't.  I was told my tire man (who does trucks & trailers) that the
radials would hold up better, so I'm switching them one by one, as each
one gets a flat that should be replaced rather than repaired.
Unfortunately I'm doing the same thing on my truck, which means I'm
spending a LOT of money on tires these days. :(
