Default Ouch!!!

Driver side rear wheel: I back up in a curb and that's what happened... New tires comming soon and will use the spare wheel when I will get my new tire, that's so big that I can't even thing repair it myself! Nice, now when I'll come back of my trip in two weeks, I'll have to spend 2K in tires!!!

Default Re: 2K in tires!!?

I was looking for Bridgestone S-03 and they are $460 CAN each and mounting and balancing is about $25 each so that mean near $2K for four. Also getting my spare tire instaled on my ruined rim is 25$ more.
