Another flat tire..

within a month. I'm getting sick of this. Is the tire tread designed to pick up screws?

First, it was the front right tire. Now it's the front left. This one is slowly leaking air, and I think it's a flat tire, but I didn't feel anything on the tread, so it could also be a bent rim. God damn potholes.

I saw it after parking at Home Depot (I looked back, as always), and saw the front left tire sitting on its SIDEWALL!! Drove across the street to Belle Tire and got it up to 34 just in case.

I hadn't driven my car for a few days until last night, so I'm quite sure it happened last night. I drove through a construction zone, with my family in the car, so it could be a bent rim or it just picked up a screw or something in the construction zone. I'm hoping for the latter. :o

That sucks. I got the Road Hazard coverage on my note. I think its a pretty new thing that Acura offers. It actually covers all tire and wheels OEM and aftermarket for the length of the warranty.

This was actually a pretty easy decision for me since I've replaced three tires on my BMW and all were road hazards.

LOL, man i feel ya. I've had so many flat tires and holes in one year. It was horrible. I had to patch a tire like 6 times until the tire finally gave out. And recently i just got a big fat screw in my front right tire. What sucks was that it was one of my new tires I bought!

The front right tire (first flat) had picked up a large hex-headed BOLT. Now, I haven't the slightest clue as to how a big fat bolt pierced through the tire, but it happened. I guess it hit the tire just at the right angle, at just the right speed.... or the wrong angle, actually. :o



I'm monitoring the tire PSI. If it's down again by tomorrow morning, it's going in for service (not the dealership, though. God knows how much they charge for tires.)
