Flat Tire Frustration
I have had
two flats in the past month! :banghead To put this in perspective, I have had fewer flats (only one that I can recall) in approximately 30 years of driving!
Both were small side wall tears from just nudging the neighbors lava rock headers that lay loosely on the sides of the driveway we share while backing out. Both times I did not notice I had a leak until I returned to a completely flat tire hours later. With the 19" fronts, forget about any help from Sears etc. They simply do not carry that size in their normal stock. Both times I had to pick up about 3 cans of "flat fix" so that I could at least drive home. Thanks goodness for tire rack

Needless to say, I have moved all of the lava rocks away from the driveway! Not a bad idea to keep some flat fix on hand even if only for a quick fix to get home!
