Post by: 420seriouscat69 on September 11, 2015, 09:53:12 AM: Lulz! Hey man, it's free to get it changed by my insurance. Also, it's a good thing I didn't try, because the "pro" couldn't get it off because the tire was so hot, it melted to the welding. I know, it sounds made up. I agree.

Post by: AbeFroman on September 11, 2015, 10:21:11 AM: I popped a tire around I-35N and SW Blvd exit once. Didn't really notice it until I got to the Broadway exit. Some biker flagged me down and pointed at it as we were heading towards the exit. I pulled off and put on the donut right in front of the Kemper Performing Arts Center.

Post by: 420seriouscat69 on September 11, 2015, 11:05:56 AM: This tire places computers are frozen, so they can't print off my contract, and they won't work on it till it's signed. This day! :curse:

The hole is probably fixed, but your tire life is likely much lower now

From reading and participating on this outstanding blog for some time, and although I don't know him IRL, I always thought Wacky was kind of an expert on vehicle repair and getting cars back on the road quickly.

2 of my four tires are plugged and have held for almost a year and half now.
