RFT's saved my butt

Scimitar335i · 09-07-2008, 03:52 AM

I was driving on the freeway when I heard a huge POP and metal clanking around. All of a sudden I get the FTM light.. crap.. I pull over and find that a huge chunk of my tire is missing. I drive over to a local tire shop and lo and behold they had a used RFT same size brand and everything for 50 bucks..

Thanks goodness... I was so lucky! I was doing 80+.. if I was in a regular tire I woulda been boned royally.. no spare tire

wheew...
