I must have hit a piece of metal or glass and it sliced the edge of the tread and sidewall. I heard a muffled pop, but felt no change on the handling of the car. Only the tire pressure warning on the dash alerted me to a problem. I drove another 15 miles to a tire dealer.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"22\" src=\"https:\/\/randomography.com\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/icon_thumbsdown.gif\" height=\"21\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 21px\" \/>\u00c2\u00a0 Runflat Tires &#8211; These things are seriously expensive. It cost me $489 to replace the blown tire, plus another $45 for a rental car because the tire had to be ordered. If I had been using regular tires, I would have needed a tow. But in the end, it may have been cheaper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ups and Downs of the Week. \u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0Reality TV &#8211; It seems to bring morons out of the woodwork.
