Tire blow out in Folsom

Hey guys my name is Tom from Subydude. i was at a retreat over the weekend in tahoe and on the way home my front left tires blew out. i put on a spare and was able to make it to el dorado hills where my aunt lives. i have some 17x8 slipstreams with some sti stock tires (potenzas). i was wonderin if anyone in the area has any spare wheel i can use for the ride home and ill send back ur wheel once i get my stockers on. if anyone can help please give me a call at 408761531 ASAP or else i would have to buy new tires for ALL FOUR! TIA

There's no reason your spare can't make it all the way home, uness this isn't the first time you've used it and it has tons of miles on it.

Just make sure the temp is properly inflated. Basically a few pounds shy of the max written on the sidewall, and check it once or twice on the way home.

Edit: Okay, new tires solves the issue.
