Flat tire...

I didn't have one, not yet. I was wondering if anyone on here has had a flat tire and what did or how did they take care of it. I know that some of us on here did not get a spare tire.

If you get a flat, DO NOT put that tire snot in your tire.
Tire is basically junk once you use it.

I found a big nail in the back right tire at 3 in the mornin. Tire was flat as hell. Pulled it out and put a screw in place of it and used the inflator kit. I actually drove 100 miles to another town and then burned up another 400 mi. till I got the replacement.

I got a flat in the first two weeks of having mine last year. Also happened on a Sunday when all the tire places were closed.

Just go to the wheels and tires forums, and you will find the spare tire kit for the SS and the RS with the 20's

Keep one of these handy and use the inflator. Then get it to a tire shop.
