    VENT: Flat Tire/ rim dings!!

    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?

    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

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