If the tank the water is on is black, that's not the fresh water tank, it's white. You might investigate the waste tank vent pipe. It might be leaking or if you fill the tank too full it might be...

My unit's 9 years old. I wouldn't expect to get it for free, although $1.14 seems like a ridiculous amount to put on a charge card.

Actually, air in the top of the water heater is not a good thing. The oxygen causes corrosion, leading to a new water heater sooner. When the hot water expands the pressure is automatically relieved...

You are correct. It's 215/75R17.5LRH G614. Too many numbers for an old guy with glasses.
