    Never had so many punctures as on Norcal roads.. This one is a doosy though and destroy a 60 day old tire. Seems like my trusty old RE11’s are also in short supply. Rumour is Bridgestone is discontinuing..

    There is no way any plug kit would enable that tire to hold air again!

    I like the old fashion kits that consisted of an extra tire mounted on a spare rim. I seem to recall that BMWs back in the olden days even had a space for them in the trunk.

    Yes, owning one of those older BMWs with a FULL SIZE SPARE is very handy. Luckily I have only been driving for 11 years and I still have yet to need to use it.

    Well it held enough air to get to America’s Tire and then mounted a loaner tire while they sourced a replacement. Surprisingly, even though I did not buy any of the damage insurance, there prorated the tire wear on the new tire. I was expecting to buy a full replacement..

    Always got good service from the guys on Stevens Creek..
