Screws...aren't good for you're tires....I think you get the point.
I am now driving on a donut. Hopefully I can gets a new tire tomorrow. Considering
I have a road hazard warranty from ford. Which I think needs to be utilized.
Might I ask, Why does it say to remove foreign object from tire on fix a flat, that just
lets all the air out.....[:@]

Yup, we look pretty rediculous with that donut.. I saw a GT stang on the highway the other day, in the slow lane.. as I got over to his right.. it just stuck out like a sore thumb.. he was rolling on a donut!

Might as well get a wooden wheel instead.

If you payed for the road hazard warranty use it, that's what it's for.

Unless your treads are worn past the "if your tire isn't almost brand new this warranty is toilet paper" clause.

Yes, I paid for the Road Hazzard warranty. I'd like to say its come in handy
but my ford dealership is kinda of a bunch of lazy folks......the tire clearly needed to
be replaced, I mean it freakin looked like I had one slick on my car! Plus instead of
patching the hole, they plug it. As much as I pay, they should do neither patching or plugging.
They should just give you a replacement. But then again, I would just be doing burnouts everyday all day.
I did get it plugged this morning though. I hate to pay for a brand new set of good tires, when I still
have that road hazzard and plus I plan on buying new wheels so.....I guess I am just gonna have to tough
it out until i can get the new set of wheels and tires.

When I think back to my purchase, I have never had a dealer push so hard for me to get a road hazard warranty before buying this car. They made it sound like I was making the biggest mistake of my life. I told 'em "No thanks, maam".
