I had a 65 Mustang with Michlen tires in the late 60's early 70's and after about 8 years still had 75% thead wear left but sidewalls wouldn't hold air, weather checked after 90,000 miles on 40,000 mile tires replaced all 4 but only left side tires leaked, was told I could put radial tubes in them and keep going there are options but they start after you find out why the air got out.
just want you to know flats happen and reasons very.

They checked my tires today and told me they were in good shape. Why after 7 hours would one of them suddenly go flat? When I parked my car everything was fine.
