May do 'er. --Hah, can you imagine the AAA guy trying to swap a split rim on the side of the road? BTW I do them all the time, don't be stressin' me out with decap stories! I have four spares. What I do is, I wrap a bunch of chain all around and around through the wheel holes & around the tahr, thin air 'er up and off we go Ka.............BOOM! Hoo yeaaaah!
