A few weeks ago I posted about what a great deal I got on my new "non" runflat tires and what a shrewd consumer I was. With the great savings and much quietier ride and lets face it, when was the last time you had a flat tire? How about yesterday?!?! :banghead: Normally, Star and I go to the gym every morning but yesterday I had a doctors appointment so she drove "Lil'Brat" and I took our Tracker. Just before I got to the doctors office she calls...."Jim the right front is going flat." "Drive it up to Tire Kingdom and get it fixed." "When I say it's going flat, I mean it is flat, and I can hear the air whoosing out." So much for the air compressor I put in the trunk. I called Tire Kingdom and they inform me that Sumotomo has a Free roadside assistance program, which I did purchase. And yes, I have AAA, but why bother them when this is free? Called them and they sent a flatbed to tow. As luck would have it the owner of the towtruck company owns 6 Vettes, so at least they know how to tow a Vette. Got up to Tire Kingdom and there was a piece of glass right thru the middle of the tire. How often do you run over glass and have a piece puncture the tire? It was small enough that a plug/patch worked. BUT, remember....I saved mucho bucks on non runflats vs. runflats.??? :shrug01:
