Sidewalks were fine, except for the nail on the inner sidewall of the left front.Kraken wrote: ↑Sun Sep 11, 2022 10:09 pmWife went through a series of tires after ruining the sidewalls by scraping curbs. We have square granite curbs with sharp edges here.LawBeefaroni wrote: ↑Fri Sep 09, 2022 10:51 am Not repairable, nail in the sidewall. Fucking nails in this city. Every tire I have replaced here has been due to a nail or to balance one lost to a nail.
So I'm going with 4 decent non-runflats, $960 all-in after taxes and labor. She says I can probably sell the 3 good ones online for a few hundred but I'm just going to let them have them. Would have no idea how to do that. Just wan to be done with it.
Over $100 in fucking taxes, BTW.
Now about that gyro.
Interestingly, they said the treads were in really great shape but they would have recommended changing them in a year or two anyway just due to age. I put got them 2 years/6k miles ago but they appear to have been made in 2017.
Anyway, new tires performed just fine today. Several road hazards welcomed hem to Chicago road duty.
