I got my first flat tire (January 1st), so it's a great start to 2007!
For those of you that are wondering, the tire pressure monitoring system works like a charm. I was going down the highway (80 West, PA) doing about 80mph and a beep and warning light came on. I drove for about 1/2 mile to a gas station and when I got out of the car I could hear the tire losing air.
I took out the piece of metal (about an inch and a half long) and bought a plug kit in the gas station. plugged the tire and filled it with air. The manual said 32psi, but the tire says 44psi on it(I went by the tire), not sure why that is. I didnt take note of the make of the tire, I will post that later.
Anyway, got back on the road and after about 30 seconds the warning light went away and hasn't been back since.
I am replacing that tire, but it's still good, I'm wondering if I can get rid of the spare and put that one in there, anyone know if it will fit?
