I win for bad luck with tires
Sooo to start off.
Monday while I was installing my coilovers I started on the driver's side rear. After I had taken the tire off and had taken everything apart I noticed something shiny in my tire. It turned out to be a nail. Ugh. Borrowed the mom's forester and took it to wheel works to get it repaired.
Ok. Got the wheel back an hour later and finished that corner.
Went to the passangers side rear. Took the wheel off and noticed something shiny in it too. Omg. Ok atleast this one was a screw so they didn't happen together or nething. So went and got that one repaired and finished the install.
Thought everything was ok, but then today when I was on my way to school to take a midterm I get about 1 mile from my house and hear this really bad flop flop noise. I pull over and get out to see my driver's side front tire is completely flat.
Ugh.
So now I have the spare on and my third flat tire in a week. yay.
Ok rant done.

Damn do you live on a construction site or something? that is some serious bad luck lol. I thought I had bad luck when I had a nail in the sidewall and had to replace all four tires when I thought I would be getting a free repair at America's Tire haha.

I think the rears were from a construction site I am moving to soon. I keep stopping by to check out the progress on the houses.
The front one, I have no clue what happened. no nails or screws or nething that looks wrong. Off to wheel works in the morning.

Ok so subaru is dumb.
The tires I have on my car, from factory, are Dunlop SP sport 600.
No where carries that tire yet.
Even the subaru dealership I bought my car from didn't have any nor could they have gotten me one within a month.
So had to buy 2 new tires today, some crap about different tires on one axle being really bad for tranny.
