Bad week

Well I've had the car for about a month now and what a bad week I've had! First my wife had the car out and got a flat, not too bad in itself, but some one pulled over to help her, she's a very petite woman, and used "fix a flat" on the tire, well I took it straight to the dealer and had it fixed and on the way home noticed a vibration coming from that tire. I called the dealer and he said that the "fix a flat" makes the tire unbalancable. It's not bad just at around 80mph you notice it alot and it just bugs the sh*t outta me. anyway a new tire is $240 so i quess I'll live with it. Then this morning the car in front of me threw up a rock and cracked my windsheild. bummer. But on the bright side I got my Polarg bulbs in today and instlled them in about 5 minutes (in the snow storm). I love this car but jeesh what bad luck.

sssssssorry to whine on here but I gotta tell some one about this bad week.

Go to tirerack.com and you can get them much cheaper, like 170.00 and you have then at your front door in two business days. Check it out, the price may be lower ! DON'T BUY THEM AT THE DEALER OR OTHER TIRE STORES, THEY CANNOT BEAT TIRERACK.COM !

thanks for the tip. I was just going to live with the vibration but at $170 I'll replace it.

Can't you remove the tire and get the fixit cleaned out?

CLCrazy...

If you call around locally... you should be able to find a tire for even less.

When we replaced the tires on our Pathfinder this fall... I called aroudn to shops as well as looked on the web...

And I got prices that variated more then $400 for the same set of tires!

Call around... it will be worth it.
