So I just found out someone slashed one of my tires. I haven't driven the car in 3 days, and on the morning of the 3rd day, the tire is flat. I couldn't see any nails or slashes, so I figured and hoped it was a punk kid who thought it was funny to uncap my valve stem and let the air out. I also hoped that if it was indeed a slash, that it be anywhere in the middle of the tread so I can at least patch it up. I take it to a gas station to pump it up, and what do I find upon closer inspection? Not one, but 2 f*ckin slash punctures on the corner of the damn sidewall and tread. Now I gotta shell out an unecessary $220 : If I findout who did it, I will . (I know it's just a tire, but it's the vandalism that really pisses me off).

Anyone else know of a cheaper place to get OEM tires other than Tirerack?

 

Damn Theo...I'm sorry to hear that bro'...nothing I hate more than someone meesing with the vehicle! Brings out the 'jarhead' in me! AARRGGHH! Sorry to hear it man!

 

which brings to mind a question, is the spare a full or a bike tire?

 

It's a temporary spare... no way a full size one would fit. At least whoever did it didn't mess with your bodywork/paint... I saw a Jeep Liberty the other day driving around after it had been egged.. some people don't realize how bad egging a car can be..

 

It amazes me how people can hand me a $220 bill so quickly and easily .

 

well i thought it was a small, but i was hoping that you, Theo, could at least be driving. Theo, take that tread to New Wave Laredo and have some Zapatero make some fine hurraches.
BOL

 

come again

 

You're getting off easy paying $208 + tax considering the dealership wants close to $300. I would think Tirerack is your only choice at this point in time. Sorry, bro.

PS - Your artwork turned out great!

 

damn dude sorry to hear about what happend, i as well hate when people do **** to cars.

when i had my acciendt and my hood was propped opened a little for 2 days people would stick garbage under neath it, that really made me FURIOUS!!!!

and one of my friends got al 4 of his tires slashed on his firebird once, i know how much it sucks! but... just find the people and key there car like no other!

 

I got egged.

 

that sucks too, but ... those can wash off. i remember my neigbor got egged when it was really cold here and some of her pain chipped off, damn shame people would do that

 

Dont feel bad I have had my car borken into twice. And to top if off the 2nd time, they stole the stereo plus the ****in AC knob. Who the hell steals an AC knob.

 

Someone with a Mitsubishi.

 

TireRack is awesome. Took them less than 30hrs to be shipped from the time I ordered to the time it was delivered! Look how new this tire is, treads all crisp and sharp.

What kind of problems would I be running with, seeing how this tire is 7400 miles behind? The other tires probably have 20% less tread only.

 

theo I have in the past patch the heck out of my tires, it works well but wont last forever, it will be temp, but it will also save u some cash. Once u have the doe definitely get it replaced. But they make patches that goes on the corners. $10 anytire place should have it, at least here in jersey they do hehe. but as for those guys who did it, get ur tire fixed first and then run them over.
