Wow, I'm a liar and stupid and called that in public on the list?
Maybe I'm just blind and didn't see what I saw?
What an asshole.
No matter I'm done, I know what happens when tires are under
inflated, I have seen it often.

My advice is to buy the best tires you can, if you really want to
know what's happening weigh your van (so you know what's happening)
and then buy the best tires you can afford.
