Got up this morning and one of the tires on our Grand Prix was flat. What a bummer, so I get out my trusty portable air compressor and attempt to pump it up but after 15 min of that running I sad to hell with it and got out the all impressive "doughnut”.
Upon removing the tire we saw why it would not inflate, there was steel belting sowing around the inside tread edge, and it had give out in three places. We got 90,000km out of them so that wasn't bad. I upgraded to a better tire, and decided on getting a full set of 4 Michelin Hydraedges, a tire that was designed for the west coast and all the rain and snow we get (mostly snow), $750 later we have a sense of well being on the highway again, but a sense of debt when it comes to our VISA balance. Merry Christmas; like it couldn't have waiting until after the holiday season, “guess what Tyler and Marlee, you are getting tires for Christmas”.
