No RFT

So two weeks ago I got the low tire pressure warning light and went to the dealer, apparently I had two nails one in my rear left tire, and one in front right tire. let's just forget for a second that for some reason one tire costs 500$ here, and focus on the fact that the guy told me, they were out of front tires -_-.

And supplier in Germany are having difficulties or whatever and I have to wait TWO WEEKS to get my tire. It's been two weeks, but they're telling me now it will arrive on the 22nd

Worst spring break ever.

Order the RFT in your size. Have it delivered to one of their recommended tire installers. Install the tire. Done.

TireRack is even one of the sponsors of this site.

Exactly why I made a post last year about regardless of RFT, a spare tire is still needed. Especially when you have to wait for a tire delivery, as I did as well. Yet more and more auto manuf. are going to RFT or some fix a flat bullshit. I'm seriously thinking about getting the space saver spare, and buying some regular tires next go round. And I still save money.

The only recommended tire installers are the two service centers : P, and they gave me some crap about them only accepting tires from the main supplier

Anyways I forgot to mention that I had the front tire plugged and been driving the car, but I am not really that confident driving with a plugged RFT so I am only driving around 80-100 kph.

The fact that you're quoting in kph leads me to believe you're not in the USA. If any of our USA installers told you this after you mentioned the Tire Rack to them I would be very interested in knowing the names and zip codes of those installers so that appropriate action can be taken.

We do not tolerate installers giving our customers anything but a warm welcome for installing our tires. We have countless shops on a waiting list who would love to take the place of a shop giving sub par service.
