<![CDATA[fucking tires !! Fucking pot holes!]]>Three days, two flat tires... fucking bad luck!

Some fucker had broken glass all over the road for the first one, second one must have been from a pot hole by the U of M.

This is my 5th flat tire of the year (not on just these tires or rims though)...

What made it worse, is that becuase of my flat the other day, I had my spare (which is a full size replacement) on, and I was on my way to get it fixed... So I was stuck and had to get a ride... what a bitch!

Run flats suck. If you get a flat and drive even close to the 50 or so miles their rated at, the tire is junk anyway. So, it not worth it to pay the extra for them. Not to mention, they still are just as prone to picking something up and creating a leak and there's even more stringent gudelines to repairing them. And finally, they are some heavy motherfuckers because of all the reinforcement to cope with the rigors they were designed for hence you'd loose fuel economy and performance because of the drag.

Fucking pot holes! on Tue, 30 Jan 2007 23:01:37 GMT]]>Well, these 17's I've only blown out two... There are pot holes everywhere, and I usually drive 80ish on the freeway, but I didnt think I hit anything too huge...

I blew out a 19" one and fucked the rim up, I fucked up a tire on my mercedes as well...

I check the pressure every once and while, and it doesnt seem like it's lost alot or anything...

Fucking pot holes! on Tue, 30 Jan 2007 22:58:17 GMT]]>jim how often do u check ur tire pressure? i had problem with a car with 17's on it a fews years back it also had 35 series tires on it.
this kid kept coming back blowing out tires like every month, basicaly what it came down to was that all 4 tires had slow bead leaks but becuase they were such a low profile tire u couldnt tell by looking at them and after driving on them low they would heat up and blow out the side walls of the tires

typicaly tires dont just blow out like that with out being drivin on low or hit something large/sharp at high speeds

idk either that or quit hitting shit on the road?

Fucking pot holes! on Tue, 30 Jan 2007 22:14:55 GMT]]>I had a tire blow out at about 80 a couple years ago, luckly i didn't crash but it fucked up my fender really good including breaking my front bumper, lip, headlight, corner light, and braces behind my fender. Sucked. Good thing it didn't do too much damage for you.
