That's the new Ultra Compact run flat spare, right?[LOL]
i was pulling a car on a tow dolly behind a uhaul once and had a flat on the car tire that was rolling. of course, you can't see what's going on back there, and the rim looked like that when i stopped--just the beads were left, but no damage to the rim!
This one is a bit warped. Might balance out but probably not.Quote:

People can't do much for themselves nowadays, can they?
You can't even say - 'it's only flat on one side!'
The tires for my 335 were $400 a pop...Quote:

Its the people that then drive on the space saver spare for weeks on end that really make me wonder. Saw one a couple of days ago on a ice covered road, obviously _not_ headed to a tire shop ...
