Blew a tire this morning, need one now. I hate Iowa roads.

Michelin X-Ice 205/50 - 16.

Just need 1.

Anyone got a spare sitting around or can get their hands on one?

Called my local tire shop, and they've got one, in Salt Lake City... and want $200 for it. :shock:

lol, wow that does suck... well, in the long run I suppose it would be the same with mounting and balancing. I'd try another store or just stick a cheap tire on it and put it on the rear, so you have the good snow tires in front.

find a place that'll price match to tire rack
A friend asked me if I wanted a frozen banana, I said "No, but I want a regular banana later, so Yeah."

I ended up going with a local place that has done some work for me before. They dropped the price and got me an ~okay~ deal.

Good thing there's no snow on teh ground. Back to summer tires for the next week I guess. :lol:
