rollin with a skinny on the rear and a 9"wide up front.. BALLIN!!!
SO..
i come home from a longggg a.ssss day at work.. (discount tire) and sit down, take a shower, get on here for a few.. then i get ready to get something to eat.. im driving a few hundred yards.. and i hear something that sounded like it was solid dragging on the concrete.. so i thought oooo hell no.. its my cutout dragging.. so i pull over in the neighborhood and get out and look at my right rear tire bc it was pulling to the right.. and WA LAA!.. I HAVE A FLAT LADIES!..
keep in mind that my rims/tires are less than a month old.. BRAND NEW!!!!
so i notice there is allready a heat ring on the side wall of the tire.. (in laymen terms.. a ring that develops on the side wall from driving on it while very low pressure.. it deteriorates the inside of the tire.. also known as run-flat.. )
so... im like o great.. so i slowly drive back to the house trying not to hit any bumps or scratch the rims.. i take the tire off.. look for nail, hole, side wall puncture, see if some one slashed em.. nothin.. so i throw it in the moms car and run it up to our biggest competitor (tires plus) to see if they will just dunk it for me so i can see if/where its leaking.. they are already closed.. so i go to the gas station and fill it up real quick and see that its leaking from a hole where a nail USED to be..
great.. good thing i bought the warranty/certificates for free replacement from my work.. now im takin it in with me to work tomarrw and ordering a new tire and payin only $16.00 just to renew the warranty. or i could get it for free..
either way.. IM ROLLIN WIHT A DEEP DISH BULLIT UP FRONT AND A BLACKED OUT SKINNY ON THE REAR all on the riht side of the car.. and im not gunna lie, it looks hidious..
o also, the only good thing out of this .. is that i leave for 10 days to go to NC on the 2nd.. so i will have the tire when i get back.. other wise i would have to roll with a doughnut for like a week..
THE END!!!!!

David, that sux bigtime since you just got the wheels and tires. Can't you get a replacement any quicker than a week? Nitto's are common enough, maybe not 295x45x18's...Carroll Tire should have those in stock. Post a pic, we'd love to see how mentally challenged it looks.[:-]
