![]() I was going like 75ish on the freeway when my passenger rear tire decided to stop cooperating. I got lucky it was the rear and not the front. I was able to pull to the shoulder very easily. To make things worse, I couldnt put the spare on because the wrench wouldnt go deep enough to take the lug nuts on for some reason. Im thinkin the rim got bent and warped which didnt allow me to secure the wrench onto the lug nuts but not sure yet. what a downer!! AAA emergency roadside assistance rules though, had a tow truck within 20 minutes of calling them. the rest of the tires should have close to 10k miles left in them. I got them on(kumhos) about 4 years ago and put a little over 30k on since. I thought it was supposed to get 40k miles but i'll check my papers again. If the rim is not bent, would I just need to replace the 2 rear tires? If the rim IS bent I'll probably have to get 4 new rims along with 4 new tires, for the safest route right? |
