Was doing some check after a very awesome drive on Tuesday.
The new fuel pump turned the GT6 into a raging beast.
But looks like I ran into a screw. Driver front. I hope they can plug it.
Mounted the 13" tires but they are touching in the rear.
The tires are 185/70-13. All wrong.
Grrr I wanted to go for a good drive.
Looks to me like a classic example of a puncture that can be plugged. As I understand it, holes near the edge or ones that are too large are the problem.
Andre, make sure they plug/patch it from the inside. From the outside, it's a cheap and easy fix. Inside, more reliable.
I'll see what they say when I bring it in.
Wish the 13's would have worked out.
I could have driven this weekend.

Andre... of all the tools you've bought over the years, you don't have a plug kit? We keep at least one in each car. I have really nice ones with metal T-handles I bought at a swap meet, but even the cheap ones from your FLAPS will do the job.
Bought the kit.
$12 later I have a working tire again.
Up and onward.
A little while ago, a friend and I were working on my car.
"Hey, you have a nail in your tire!" he yelled.
"Oh wait, it's just a little, round piece of trash."
Whew.
I got lucky on this one.
No sidewall.
