Stop being such a cry baby

I did mine the first time without even a creeper

Glad to hear you got it in there, I think you're going to find it's impressive when you get on it.

Just pulled into work an hour ago. My supervisor left for the night and calls me on my cell phone, "Hey your left rear tire looks flat." I know my left front tire has a slow air leak, but not the rear. So I look outside and lo and behold, it's totally flat. I used the air inflator to pump it up a little, and when I removed it I immediately heard a "hissssss." I called the stealership and left a message. I checked the warranty and, if I'm reading it right, it says it doesn't cover punctures. The stock Pirelli P-Zeros are $362.00 a pop from Tire Rack.

Dammit, maybe the 2013s ARE cursed.

UGH, that would make me lose it. I've been particularly kind to these tires just because I know how expensive they are to replace. Sorry to hear about the misfortune. Hopefully it isn't a puncture and will be covered under warranty.

If it's just a standard screw through the tread, nothing a $10 repair kit won't fix. I've done 3 of them over the past year in my other cars and they have all held 100%.

Rear tire has to be replaced. The puncture is on the large side plus the tire was damaged from being totally deflated. TPMS is OK. The new tire won't come in until tomorrow. Staring down $400-450, not including a possible patch for the leaky front tire. FML, that money was supposed to go towards camber plates or exhaust.

So do you suspect foul play, or road debris? Sorry to hear about that

What is the tire size?

The P-Zero's are an all season right? Mustangs have come with them stock since like 2006. There is no WAY that is a $300 tire, thats Pilot sport 2/cup prices...
