Kinda later than usual.  Left at 0745.  Decided to take 85 to Atlanta,285,675,75 back to Florida.  Got to 285,blew center right tire.  Put on spare.  Got to 675, blew left rear tire, no spare.  Dude drives up in an old van where I had picked just off the exit at a TIRE warehouse.  Says I can take one of y'all to get a tire, just lookin for a few bucks for some gas.  I thank him and send him on his way as I grab my 380 just in case.  After about 4 hours of asking all around that area and chasing leads, finding the two tire stores that were actually open only to find that they didn't sell trailer tires.  A customer at one of the stores said he thought Northern Tool had some,didn't know what size.  Bought two tires and rims from them, installed one, and had a spare.  Another guy stopped in while I was getting everything buttoned up again and said he wouldn't be there after dark, bad neighborhood.  Anvil road and 675 if you know it. 
Had a great time riding the mountains, will be back again.

He was correct about the neighborhood. Not a place to hang around if you don't have to.
