Seems like there's a lot more potholes this year than anything. The UofM just started construction over there too, dirt, gravel roads... that I try to avoid. Anyway, found this sucka in one of my stock wheels while I was putting my rims yesterday. Only 4500 miles on this tire and it already has a nail. :?

I beat you!!!!! On Monday, get off of work, stop to pick up the kid from my parents house, and see that I have a flat tire, BRAN FUCKING NEW TIRES, and I have a flat, not even 1k miles on them yet and I had a screw in one of the tires.

Luckily Discount tire was still open and they were table to fix it, sad thing was I was driving on it that way, not sure how long I was driving on it with a flat but, thank got it didn't fuck the side wall up becuase it was still good and they didn't have to replace it.

Don't bash us 18'ers 8)

Damn Josh... you got me beat. That sucks lol. I gotta fix this somewhere though... how much did Discount Tire charge? Maybe I should just bring it to focinite when he's sober.

Discount didn't charge me a dime ;)

I gave them a BS story about how I didn't get the tires from them, but I used discount tire direct (mail order) because the tires where $40 cheaper, and free shipping, no taxes, blah blah blah, and he did it for free to "keep" or get future business from me.

If you take it to any shop it'll be less than $20 to put a plug in.

Get a plug kit and do it yourself, it's easy.

Buy the one with the little 'tool'. It's about $5. Same stuff they use there.
