Another ****ing flat!

Agh... I love awd, but its impossible to catch anything short of a complete blowout without seeing it. Once again it appears I have a flat.. I'm guessing a slow leak in my right rear tire. I sure as hell hope I caught it in time before damaging the sidewall. If I blow another xmas bonus intended for my stereo on a set of new tires like I did last year, I'm going to flip my ****. At least I have access to an air compressor at work.

dont forget if properly repaired, even the RE070s on my STi was fine after 15k. the hole was fortunately on the tread, not in the sidewalls...

Yeah I had an RE070 patched and it's held killer for like 6 months...even under heat.

Heh I'm on proxes 4s as my re070s had a sidewall flat around this time last year and I had to get a new set. Hopefully it will just be a simple tread repair and life will go on. Thanks for the imput tho.

Get tires with a mileage warranty, your wallet will thank you later.

Poor guy, I hope you know it's probably from the construction on Sebastopol Rd. It's pretty much the area tires go to die.....I feel your pain
