first bad adventure w/ TL

so on way to a wedding.. hit a chunk of a road (in construction area) ripped up my rear tire.

kudos to acura roadside assistance had someone out in 30 min change to spare. however i have a light on my dash though on the right side yellow looks like an upside down horse shape.

anyone know what it is and how to get rid of it?

Also i realized that i have bridgestone tires up front and michellen in the rear and according to tirerack those are the two oem tires, is that a stock setup?

Not to sound like an ass but why wouldn't a car that was brand new at a time not get matching tires all around? The previous own of your car probably didn't care about matching the tires and just got whatever.

tire pressure monitoring system, light is on cause your spare is not reporting the tire pressure.

Did your car have the jack and tire iron and everything in it from the previous owner? It's not that hard to change a tire.

that horse shoe could be your TPMS telling you something? is it with an exclamation mark like this ---> (!). check the tire pressure maybe your rim is bent or something and you're slowly leaking air out.

also when you said chunch i thought u meant church. haha

i was dressed in suit and it was 93 degrees outside.. felt like 193 w/ humidity.

the tires that are on there are very high end the michellin tire is 260 on tirerack local shopped wanted 300.

anyways got a pair of eagle gt. icon is gone they reset the tirepressure system so all is well now just sucks that 370 bucks could've gone for something more fun like tints or jpipe.
