Hey all

SO I'm driving my car out to Rose City Ford this past Friday to get my recalled fuel pump replaced, riding down Jefferson (for those of you who know where that is) right before the train tracks after you get off the xpressway when I hear .........POP!!!!!!!!!! and I knew what it was right away.

SO I pull into the pioneer station there and see what looks like a freaking railroad tie in my damn tire!!! So, I throw the donut on there, now my car is rollin on 3 18"s and one like 13" !!! lol I'm not THAT upset because the back 2 tires needed to be replaced anyways, and it was the passenger side rear tire that popped.

Now I've got to buy 2 new tires for the rear to fit my new 18's and needless to say......thats gonna be expensive...... $230 retail for Firestone's new ultra high performance FUSION line of tires. One of my best friend's dad owns both Firestones in Windsor, so things will probably work out ok for me ;-)

just thought I'd share!
take it ez everyone!!!

no i bought them off ebay
I was well aware that the tires (at least 2 of them) were in pretty bad shape, so I knew I was going to have to replace them eventually.....I was just hoping to get through the summer.......but oh well eh?

So ya, the car pulls to the right like hardcore now because its like a person trying to run with one long leg and one short leg......they'll just go in circles lol

I'm getting those new Fusions on Thursday, so my car will be back to it's normal self then!
