What's your plan if you get a flat on the front?

Great question, makes me think of replacing the jack in the blue one, took it out to go autocross and it is still sitting on the bench.

Hope you don't jinks me but so far my addiction to buying tires has kept me away from flats..........

BTW..the new BFG gforce comp 2 a/s are the bomb , 235x45..

I think I should take Oldblue's advice and pack a can of slime just in case.Thanks Oldblue........

I think the stuff is for temporary use to get you to a tire store, and probably a new sensor.

Today we're taking Oldblue out to Niagara on the lake for a tour and check out the historic town.

If you use that slime stuff, be nice to the tire changer, as it makes a total mess if they aren't prepared. I wasn't too popular at a motorcycle shop years back when I forgot to warn them when they changed a slime equipped tire. Whopper went "Whoops". I had to buy them a case of beer for that. LOL

Started my day with about 50 "Crap's!!" in a row, followed by a few more more salty expressions the "Naughty Word Filter" wouldn't like.

Then it was out with the jack, jackstand, air-wrench, and locking lugnut key to remove a flat left front tire. Yes I know, "it was only flat on one side...har, har", and off to Discount Tire I went in another set of wheels.

Framing nail removed, patch applied, tire remounted, balance checked, no charge...thank you Uniroyal's Roadhazard Warranty.

Back home, wheel on, nuts zinged to 80 ft lbs with the air-wrench, sidewall and tire re-detailed, back on the garage floor, nuts torqued to 100 ft lbs, lugnut key back in its hiding place, and A.T. (Alternate Transportation) parked.

Now, could anybody tell me where the heck I was headed this morning? Stupid "Chemo Brain"!...

Took a ride up to Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto, my third eye exam this month , X-ray and froze the eye then ultrasound. So far I'm evading the Chemo-sobie, treatment .
First the heart issues then the head injury issues then more heart stuff and now they think the unmentionable is hiding in or behind my right. More tests next May!
The HHR ran smooth and steady in bumper to bumper less than 5 mph traffic!
