having an unrepairable flat tire sucks[views:1595][posts:17]_______________________________________ [Nov 20,2006 12:55pm - the_reverend ""] especially when the tires are under 6 months old. lame. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 20,2006 12:56pm - the_reverend ""] though, fixing a flat is $20 and a new tire at the place I go to is $35-50. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 20,2006 12:59pm - the_reverend ""] yep, they are ordering me a new tire for tomorrow. |
| ______________________________ [Nov 20,2006 1:01pm - Yeti ""] perhaps it is your rim? that has happened to me before. one little defect in the rim and it causes a slow leak in any tire, new or old. |

I seriously just went thru this, with my TealMobile, and to my suprise, a can of fix-a-flat, not only filled my 100% FLAT tire, enough to drive on, but also actually fixed the leak, wherever it was. I havent had to stop at 7-11 for air, in over a month now!!! Try it!! |

| ______________________________________ [Nov 20,2006 1:17pm - keithmobile ""] if they install the tire properly theywill coat the inside of the rimand tire with a rubber compound that will prevent that. also, try and tighten the inside f the valve stem thats usually it. |

| ______________________________________ [Nov 20,2006 1:18pm - the_reverend ""] sears said they couldn't fix it and when I went to the tire place they couldn't fix it. it's a staple on the border of the sidewall. |

| ________________________________ [Nov 20,2006 2:07pm - xmikex ""] moral of any tire story: don't drive your car around Brockton and be surprised when your tires get torn the shreds |

| ___________________________________ [Nov 20,2006 3:21pm - ariavette ""] well the construction doesn't help |
| __________________________________________ [Nov 20,2006 3:24pm - largefreakatzero ""] Dude, just swap a tire off a 10-speed bike -- they would probably fit your little hippie mobile! |
