Flat tire... boo hoo hoo

[Chris]

Got a flat tire heading home today. I noticed pretty quickly it was flat and managed to pull over right away to put on the spare. The wheel is 19" with 35 series rubber so I'm wondering if it would be prudent to take it to Alberta Wheel Repair to get it checked out as I did drive maybe 150 meters on it.

Does anyone know why the weather is always cold and crappy when you get flat tires?

And please, no remarks about "serves you right for putting your summers on so soon"

andre doesn't straighten wheels only fixes scars or road rash.
just take it to a tire shop and see if they can balance it,they will tell you if it is warped.

Sorry about your luck Chris, must have been bad luck stopping by my place!

Well, dropped it off at Kal Tire this morning to see what happened and to get it fixed. Fingers crossed I don't need a new tire or anything.

This just means I'll have good luck for the rest of the year, right?

He straightened mine... had 2 large dents on the inner lips of the front 2 wheels, and he got them out no problem.

it will be fine, i had driven on a flat 18" probably for 500m before i realized something was wrong. (it's a little harder to notice then on 15's lol)
