Take his keys, do a big smokey burnout until it pops then replace the tire. You might as well get some entertainment for your dough.

Smack him on the side of his head,

A woman was riding her crotchrocket on a 4 lane highway into Pittsburgh, PA to have a new tire put on at a shop she frequents,

She did not make it.

A guy should know better,

The girl's tire half way into the trip to the shop,

Either take the bike and get the tire replaced, or slash it through the sidewall. I'm thinking a kid of this mindset just might try and plug it otherwise...

Go to Americanmototire.com and order the tire. You will have it in a few days. Take it to a indy shop, end of story.

Stick it in the most worn area. Then he has to fix and he may learn that leaving it too long has at the very least caused him inconvenience. But let him fix it. If you go out and remove his wheel and take it in, he learns nothing. Mom will bail me out if I do nothing.

Take it in and get the tire replaced, then when you get the bike home put a big red bow on it and tell him Merry Xmas. Then if he gives you any lip knock the sh*t out of him.

Thanks everyone for the responses and suggestions. After reading through them, it just brought everything I was thinking and feeling about the sitution to the surface. So I called hubby and told him that if that tire was not changed by this evening, I was going to put a small nail or screw in it and feign innocence. He then tells me that the stepson is off work today and is “taking care of it”. What timing eh? I think it was the karma of sharing the situation with the forum. I’ll be making a trip out to the garage this evening to check it out. Hopefully no nails or screws will be involved.
