BAM- another believer!

jrs130 · 06-13-2013, 01:43 PM

do you guys who don't have the RFT buy a spare/carry fix-a-flat/ or just call AAA?

VMRWheels · 06-13-2013, 01:46 PM

If you happen to get a flat, AAA. Honestly though, in my time driving, I've only had one flat from a nail in my tire. I wouldn't even be worried about that.

Congrats, OP, you will like them.

I have a tire kit in the trunk and also have roadside assistance services if i need it. But again, I just don't know how you guys can get flats so easily down south (i live in Canada). Our road sucks and the government spends more money on social housing and tree planting than roads. We get crazy potholes and cracks due to winter and all, BUT never have i ever had a flat in my many years of driving. And that goes for all my immediate and close relatives and friends too

Have fun with the PSS, drive safe, look ahead, and enjoy it!!

Ah, I can't wait to get home today! I'm hoping my wheels are waiting for me so I can go get them wrapped in the PSSes I have sitting in my garage!

I just moved to Los Angeles from Boston and honestly, I think the roads are WORSE in LA then in Boston. I will say, the potholes are BIGGER in Boston, but they generally fix them right after show up.

exactly... We Canadian's are slow and lazy. Potholes gets fixed usually after a week or two on MAJOR roads. Not impressed. Just drive safe and look ahead!!

The first two. Got a fix-a-flat kit for local driving.
Bought a skinny spare for a decent price and will have that in the trunk for long trips away from major cities.

I for one carry a full size in the trunk which pisses me off when I needed a space in the trunk. I never had a flat tire for years but I would hate myself so much if I don't have it when I need it.

Nice, LET ME KNOW HOW THEY ARE!!!! I should be heading that way as well when ever these RFT's are bald. (PO replaced tires with OEM RFT's) Might as well use the tread he supplied me with then waste it!

Day 1 - all I can say is WOW. Totally different car. Much smoother ride. Much stickier in the corners. Just waiting for them to be scrubbed in and then I will push them a bit more and comment again.
