flat tire

For everyone who is possibly deciding to buy run flats tires for the extra buck, it is not necissary at all. I just realized my tire has been flat for the past 500 miles on the front driver side. Kept wondering why the car seemed to bottom out up there haha. I assume it happend a couple weaks ago with a bit of an accident regarding a giant manhole cover.

You're lucky then there dude. If you where living here in Poland like i do, i guarantee you that you'd be buying a new rim. The roads are that bad here.

What tires are u running? I had a flat rear this morning and the only reason I noticed is cause I bottomed out going over a speed bump in my neighborhood that I normally clear when going slow. I'm running Khumo's
