Well, I got a flat yesterday, so I put on my RE92 Full-size spare and had Kim take the tire down to Discount to get a patch. Sounds pretty run of the mill until they say "shoulder puncture" and "unreparable". Oh well.

And yet another beauty of All Wheel Drive: I get to buy 4 new tires. Yay. Not a HUGE deal, as my SP Sport 5000s were getting a bit smooth, but not what I was expecting to budget this month.

I ordered up a set of ContiExtremeContacts. They are pretty new on the market, and the reviews seem pretty high right now, and you can't beat the price. We'll see how they turn out.
