I ran the donut spare on the front this winter Posted by MI-Roger [Email] (#882) [Profile/Gallery] (more from MI-Roger) on Sat, 19 Apr 2014 12:51:48 In Reply to: Donutphobia, Stephen Goldberger, Sat, 19 Apr 2014 10:13:55 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Didn't have much choice. I hit a major pot hole 4 miles from work and 30 miles from home. The pot hole bent the Saab alloy rim and blew out the Gislaved snow tire on the right front corner. I left work early that afternoon because I had a Dentist appointment at 5:00pm
I did the next 30 miles at 50 MPH as the tire says and generally P-O'ed everyone on the three lane expressway. Luckily a local Belle Tire store was open late that night and I got two new Michelin snows to replace the damaged Gislaved and its axle partner.
