Default thunk thunk

On the entrance ramp to the expressway, 1 minute later - low tire pressure. Go to the tire shop 1-1/2" diagonal cut through the cords. Michelin plant still closed, he finds me a pilot sport on the west coast. Go to put it on today, dent in the barrel, rim is cracked. Wife runs me out the OEM rim, the TPSM on the damaged rim is broke, the dent is exactly where the monitor was mounted. $500 later I have mis-matched rims. Not many of you can hit debris at 70mph exactly where the TPMS is!

Well, I guess it could have been worse, but you sure seemed to have covered all the bases. At least NO body damage!!
