Argg, on my way home tonight out of noware we hit this stupid pothole. It was really deep. I feel my steering get messed up and then we pull over into a Honda Dealership. I get out and the tire is hissing and goes flat. Then if that wasnt bad enough i notice to deep dings on both rims on that side!! Then I put on the spare, and THAT IS FLAT TOO!! So we drive super slow, with the flat spare to a gas station 2 blocks down. And we fill it with air... Did I mention this all happened a good 25-30 min from home? :mad: :rant: :crying:

That frickin' sucks! That should be a testament... always make sure your spare is fully inflated!

Very true -- that spare can get neglected in there. Before I left for Florida last tuesday, I though it would probably be a good idea to check the pressure in the spare. Good thing I did, because instead of the 60 psi it's supposed to have, it had only 10 psi :eek:

That does suck though. But you should be able to find another rim at the junk yard (assuming it was stock. If not, well....)
