Hi all,
I finally rescued my MINI from the EPA three days ago (Tuesday) and have been having some awful luck. On my drive home, I hit something on the freeway that caused my driver side-rear tire to pop. I didn't want to risk driving on it since I was almost 50 miles from home, so I had it towed. Tire place replaced the tire for about $300. That sounds like bad luck. This morning, on my 3 mile drive to work (ALL MAIN ROADS), my driver-side left tire popped and needs complete replacement. The tire place inspected all of my tires the first time, so I know that there was no existing damage from the Tuesday incident.
What can I do to protect myself from all of these flat tires / will the tire manufacturer step up and do something when I have 2/4 remaining tires after less than 300 miles?
