Bad News: Someone knifed my sidewall...
Good news: Just had BF Goodrich T/A KD's put on! 
So after the Mount Hamilton drive on Saturday (where I drove home 50 miles on the freeway and supra-legal speeds), I parked my car and forgot about it until this morning.
Go to leave for work, see that I have a flat. Try to pump it up, and see there is a 1/2" gash in the sidewall. Some facker knifed it, because it was leaking out so fast that it flattened the tire again in ~30 seconds, so it couldn't have happened on the road.
Oh well. Big thumbs up to America's Tire in Mtn. View. They credited me the full price of a Kuhmo 712, even though it was obviously knifed. Total damage was ~ $760 installed and warrantied. Expensive morning.

a dude that happened to me...get the gold protection plan when you get your tires.
I got my tires and like a week later some crack head....well if you want to be literal..meth head stabbed my tire. I took it back to wheel works and it cost me like $12 to get a new one. with the plan you have to pay for disposal an the new stem.

Oh don't worry...I don't mind buying that guarantee from ATC. Like i said they gave me a full price credit on that Kuhmo ($116), because I had that certificate.
Stupid crack heads. lol
