Low Profiles... love and hate 'em

[99BlackMaro]

So you all have seen my rims and tires I got in April. Well today, GIANT pothole = blown tire, ok rim. Took it to tire kingdom, they want 300 bux for a 'similar' tire. I leave for N.C. on saturday, and the earliest they could fix it would be next week. Long story short... luckily i bought my rims from an ebay seller who is local. i am buying a tire tomorrow for 100 bux and getting it put on at tire kingdom. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! :rant:

Wow that sucks, i feel your pain. I got a flat tire just months after spending $700 bucks on new rubber. Firestone told me they couldn't fix it and wanted me to buy another tire, but i told them to get lost and had it patched by some shady arabic people... and its still good :tup:

Moral of the story is always buy the road side hazard warranty thing.

I blew one of my tires. I got them on discount because they were discontinued to make way for the new line. The new tire was 200 bucks.

American Tire sold me limited lifetime warranty on all my tires, now if any of my tires blow out, they will replace it. You might want to get a warranty like that.

so your rims are 17 x 8? i have 17 x 8.5. so my tires are a little wider and lower profiles than yours... not that it matters..i may go to 45 instead of 40 next time...

i got the tire to tire kingdom and they are fixing it right now. :banana:
