can't fix-a-flat because of the tire pressure monitoring system, it will get in the pressure sensors and they'll be fuxed... but right now I'm just thinking about stashing $100 in my glovebox for an emergency tow and getting the Potenzas

I hate to bring this thread back from the dead but I ordered my tires today, decided to hell with the runflats and ordered a set of Kumho Ecsta MX's ($640 for the set with shipping, less than the cost of 2 Yoko AVS Sport RFs). Now where do I sign up for AAA roadside assistance?

AAA is the shit. I use the hell out of them. 100 miles free towing a day. Come On. Whats sweet is I can use it for everybody elses cars too.

BTW, I stick with discounttiredirect.com for tires they are cheap as hell and always have free shipping. I got my new Nitto Neo Gen 17"s for 360 shipped. Best radials I have ever purchased, PERIOD.

I've checked out discounttiredirect.com before, for some reason they jack up the prices of vette tires. They want $435 per tire for my Yokos on the back! Oh well, I always order thru tirerack.com anyway
