It was the end of the day and I was driving back from work. On the highway I was driving 60 mph. No problems. The next day I get in the car and drive 15 ft, something ain't right. Get out... yep ....flat tire. It was bad, bald and steel fibers sticking out. But I remember I just put air in this tire 2 weeks ago and the tire looked alright. It still had tread. Now hardly any. Get the jack out and put the doughnut on. The town 20 min south of me I recall had a couple used tire stores. First store had a tire but it was a little narrower and a little higher. 60 bucks. I passed. 2nd shop nearby had the tire but it was new 100 bucks. The whole time in my head I'm thinking 40 bucks. Look at my phone and I find a place back in my own neighborhood. They have the tire, how much..... 50 bucks. Not 40 but close enough. He had it on in 10 minutes. Plus the guy said I needed brakes, 80 bucks for the front. I supply the pads. Good price maybe next month. Divine Spirit I credit for not having a blow out on the highway yesterday. Also the day the flat happened was a nice day. I didn't get wet sitting on the ground. The next day it rained hard, another blessing. It is good to count your blessings. Being grateful invites more good things for the future. Now negative things do pop up, so be resourceful in your approach to them. Right now I'm dealing with a lot of negative experiences that are going on now. Previously, I thought the car was out of alignment due to hitting too many potholes. The car shook. After replacing the tire, no more shake. Those loose steel belts in tire had an adverse affect on my ride.
