If those are truly Firestone RH-5s ... I, for one, don't admire your determination -- I question your judgement. You intentionally popped a curb?? WITH YOUR SON ONBOARD??? That's not only unwise, but its very irresponsible. Wanting to kill yourself is one thing. Taking your boy with you when you do is unconscionable. Please heed the advice of just about everyone and replace those wheels immediately and do not brag about using them/maintaining them on this site. As Mike says, there's a reason they've been outlawed and that no tire shop will touch them -- THEY ARE ILLEGAL BECAUSE THEY ARE DANGEROUS.
As you admitted, you know little of these wheels -- well, Sparky, pay a little attention to those of us who do and stop being irresponsible and putting others' lives at risk (your son, for starters, not to mention the people you share the road with).
We, in this hobby, are having a hard enough time maintaining our breaks on Insurance, Historic Tags, keeping ahead of the environmentalists trying to take us off the road, etc -- this sort of absolutely irresponsible behavior and attitude is utterly antithetical to what we are trying to preserve, protect and support on this web site and reflects poorly on all of us.
Absolutely unbelievable.
