Child Bride: you are too damn cute for that disgusting avatar!

Let me know if I can help - I'm just a few miles away.

where's your disgusting avatar???

THANKS EVERYONE FOR HELPING THE DAMSEL IN DISTRESS:clap_1:

Rapunzerina...is your car mobile? Do you need a ride for Dikki Du????

Kittietta--I am mobile. It was a light malfunction...HUGE relief! Thanks for asking!

You know, as I was reading this thread, I had the biggest grin on my face. Not because rapunzy had a flat, but because of all of the caring, niceset people that offered her help. Skunky, I don't think you have a thing to worry about while you are over there in "City of New Orleans". How cool it is that this place SoWal.com brought so many strangers together, and look at what we do for each other. I told some of wenches while we together last weekend that it is so awesome that we have all met and that I feel like all of us will be lifelong friends. It is just so unbelievable to me. Anyway, how sweet it is of all of you to help a girl in need. I really do you all!!! Good luck with tire gullfriend, I think you will be well taken care of.

Everything you said Darlene!!!!!

Rapunzel -- glad to hear you are a damsel in distress no more.:clap_1: Goodness gracious. It's way too cute of a car to be parked for a week waiting on tires.

Just a little FYI since I replaced all my tires last week.

If anyone is ever looking for hard to find tires or a new set in general, I would recommend www.tirerack.com. They have great prices, shop by make of your car and you can read other customer reviews of each tire. No sales tax either but costs about $38 to FedEx a set of 4 to your door in a few days.

I've ordered my last 3 sets from them and I love it! Then just take your new tires to any tire center and they'll mount and balance them for about $80.

Yeah, but the Mini Cooper dealer will void all warranties the moment you let a non-BMW/Mini mechanic mount those babies.

they have you by the short you know whats.....:roll:

Would they really know? How could they tell? And I don't think there's any warranty on the tires, anyway. When I spoke with the dealership, it was basically 'fend for yourself' if the tire was bad, but they'd have towed my car to Tampa and fixed it if the light was malfunctioning.

And guess what--the light is back on.

Do yourself a favor and pull the fuse that operates that damn light.

by the short what? I'm just sitting here wondering...

But what if that makes the tire go flat? :funn:

probably just flat on the bottom anyway...(jest kiddin')

If you still have tread left on the tire, run flats are just like other tires and can be patched if the puncture is not in the sidewall. I would recommend Goodyear (Big 10 scratched my rim ). The last runflat I had plugged has over 10,000 miles on it...Tirerack is an option for the tires, I used Costco which always had great prices but they don't have one here yet.
