That's the new Ultra Compact run flat spare, right?

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.

Hey, what's the big deal? It'll only cost, what, $500-$600+ to replace that wheel...

Probably more like $900-1200. Send it over to Woody's Wheel Works, they can fix it better than new...

Not to mention $200+ ($250+?) for the tire. That's a hell of an expensive flat tire.

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...

Its a BMW, its not sold to people who know how to drive a car.

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 ...
