and drove to the tire shop. Well after finally getting the tire off the rim they find that it is unfixable. Apparently the inner side wall was destroyed and the tire would not hold air. Well of course no one in town has a Hankook V12 evo in 275/35/19 in stock.

Well Tire Rack to the rescue. In about 5 mins I had a new tire ordered and it should be here tomorrow.

So I almost had to overnight parts from Japan but in this case when I say Japan I mean Indiana......

So its been an unlucky day. I hope it gets better
Ok im done ranting and I love the guys at Tire Rack
Dude!
You could have driven to Tirerack and had the tire today. They are in South Bend.

#1. 6 hours 22 mins I-55 N and I-80 E 361 mi
#2. 6 hours 38 mins I-57 N 369 mi
#3. 7 hours 2 mins I-70 E and I-57 N 368 mi

none of these sounded attractive on the donut spare

I hope this is how UPS thinks and I get my tire tomorrow!!

I have a hockey game tonight anyway so im not driving to that

Oh. OK, nevermind.

Hopefully they don't do like UPS around here. I order some medical supplies from a business in California, they are shipped from Louisville (app 10 miles), go right past my house (literally) to Indianapolis (2 hours) and back. Something that could take half an hour takes three days.
