Well, I felt a heavy lump comming from the rear end on my way home from work. I pulled over and the tire was dead flat.

I put some air in, and nothing. I bought a can of fix a flat :eek: :eek: , and still nothing.

I then proceeded to grab my spare and stuff but I left my tire iron in Jacques car from when I changed her tire. :angry: :( So I had to wake her up and have her drag the baby and herself to Long Grove in rushhour traffic.

I got the tire off, and the whole side on the inside was blown to hell in multiple spots. Ill get some pics later on to show the carnage.

About the only thing good was that I luckily had Rob's (starrgtp) floor jack in my car so I didnt have to use the shitty spare.

Good morning. :(

I didnt know the tire was that bad until I got it off the car. I used the fix a flat thinking it was a small leak and just wanted to get the car home for now. Needless to say, the pictures show it all. :lolsign:

And yes, thank god Jacque came to the rescue. I would have been in Long Grove for quite awhile if she didnt come out. I was still there for 2 hours regardless.

That bites ass!

That is one reason I am always so anal about my tires. I always spend the money on better tires, rotate them, check the air regularly and keep them nice and shiney ;) . I don't want to be stuck out somewhere because Julie won't pick my ass up :blink: .

Glad it worked out though.

just think if you were all together, what a mess that woulda been. No towing insurance?

True. If we were together that would have been an interesting situation. I do have 24 hour roadside, but that thought didnt cross my mind for some reason. I had my mind set on just putting the doughnut on.

I dont know what the 1/32 your talking about Jacob.

I do have a question. I have the smaller lugs for the RS6s but not the stock ones. Would the ones I have work for stock wheels, or should I just get stock lug nuts?
