That is a seriously bad idea -- especially on a Z-rated tire. Since there are some people here who think you have knowledgeable advice, for whatever reason, it is irresponsible to recommend this. Do you wish to see misfortune fall upon Mr. Haboob? Is it some sort of vendetta or blood feud that drives you to this reckless advice?

I drove over a chunk of glass Sunday and it put a slice in my tire -- maybe about 3/8 - 1/2 " and right in the center (centre) of the tread. There is no way I am patching it and putting back on the car for daily purposes. I bought a new one from Tire Rack and will keep the damaged one as a spare. By the way, I have only 510 miles on the stockers -- if I had many more miles, I would have replaced both sides.

That's what I thought, but there's no where else it could have come from than in their shop? Unless someone vandalized it, but that seems a bit odd of a spot, no?

The tire was at like 32psi, so it was a bit low.

the smaller mount mark looks like marks off a traditional pre-non-touch mounter mark. so they under inflated and it gradually lost psi, or is it leaking do you think? :confused: regardless, i would definitely take it back to the tireshop and ask for repair.

Haboob 07-08-2013 08:52 PM

I'm going to. Gonna call them tomorrow.

I may still have a slow leak too, not sure.

That's every freakin' day this week here in the Susquehanna Valley!
Add in 110% humidity and it's going to be a fun morning to run.
Still trying to find enough of a dry spell during the day to mow the lawn and de-bug the car.


Did you check out any of those food trucks?
That site also has a good list of taphouses/brewpubs... I know that's not really your thing, but they might have some good eats as those type of establisments often do :tiphat:

I was thinking the same thing :eek:


Had a nice spirited drive in this morning, had a nice early 2000's shelby cobra as the leader. When I turned off the highway we exchanged a thumbs up and appreciate the early morning fun :tup: I then proceeded on that road (my favorite road on my commute) and opened up the throttle again.

Morning kids! I have a quick question: does anyone know anything about the good struts from B2auto? They're the only ones I can find with carbon fiber hood struts and I want a set. $117 shipped next day.

They do, but not in carbon fiber. I'm doing a lot of cf accents in the car and I want these to match.

you're 100yrs old, just look down at them like little kids. :mad: :rofl2:

mr.zman- do those actually fit without the buldge? if so, id like to get one, but i've already tried like 2 different sets and one was better than the other, but still no go. :shakes head:

and it appears the hoods are made differently at the hinge area on some production lots even though from the same year.
i pop the hood every weekend so having hood dampers would be very convenient...

I guess I can do that. I'll feel better about it. I hate talking on the phone anyways, lol.

As long as I don't have to stay until 5p today I can make it there.
