First time, i drag it a few hundred feet to a nearby tire store. Second time, i drove around a mile with a hole on the side wall, no air, on run-flat tire. Tire pressure monitoring won't make any difference. I only drive on run-flat tires now.Well if you fuckin' clobber the thing on a curb such that you rupture the sidewall and it goes flat in one second then no it won't make any difference. Have you considered not clipping curves, granma?

Things happen.It's ok I'm just messing with ya. I ripped a rocker panel right off on a concrete stoop one time in a dark parking lot a few years ago, fortunately on that car it was just a piece of grey ABS plastic held on with clips, $82 NOS on the eBay.

Have you considered not clipping curves, granma?You have always been a twit, you usually hide it better though. It was an exit ramp and the tire had worn through on the inside tread because the rear was out of alignment from an accident years before. It developed that one flat, and never wore the tires oddly again. Weird. It was an old Nissan/Datsun (from the time they were changing the name) and only lasted 70,000 miles before the manual transmission locked in 5th gear. -- Rick C. -- Get 1,000 miles of free Supercharging -- Tesla referral code - https://ts.la/richard11209
