Flat

I was waiting for Kris to get home last night so I could go out with some friends.  When he got home, he said he was later than he wanted to be because the scraper tractor had a flat tire.

As I was driving on the highway my car started riding funny.  I slowed way down and as I pulled into the next exit, I knew ...


Kris loaded up the kids and came to change my tire.  (Am I capable of changing my own tire, you may ask?  I'm sure I COULD, but it was below freezing, I had no gloves, and I was wearing a dress.  But I COULD.  In THEORY.  If I were more than 12 miles away from home.  Enough disclaimers?)

Kris said, "This is just funny.  Two flat tires in one hour." 

I told him to speak quietly and be careful on his drive home.  Our other car might want to join in the fun.

Oh no! One of my all-time favorite memories was when I got a flat tire after school, and my friend & her boyfriend were all "oh no!" and I was all "I got this" and changed it myself. The (cute, lacrosse player) boyfriend was impressed that i didnt get my catholic school uniform dirty. But it was warm & during the day, so not quite the same thing...

Might a punctured tire at any point harm the wheel?
Driving on a punctured tire isn't simply hazardous, it can likewise make harm the wheel the more you drive on it for. flat tyre repair On the off chance that the tire is still completely on the edge of the wheel, it will give some padding over a brief distance, however you risk the elastic beginning to sever.
