3/24/2020 @ Discount Tire @ 176,447
was doing a u-turn at a dirt road on little park road, and wheel went into a hole that i could not see and hit edge of pavement and popped. fortunately i had 2 tires in the shed. one with lotsa tred from 2017 and one with tread that matched almost exactly from 2015. took it over to discount tire during covid-19 apocalypse/cleaning frenzy and was the only person there. they mounted and balanced the tire for a total of $30and i was on my way.
