Suckage... Ran over a nail on my rear right tire and now it's flat. Took it into the local tireshop and they said the tire has some heat damage and will be to be replaced (found the damage a little late). They're asking 96 bucks (!!!) for a single tire installed. Seems a tad expensive to me.

How hard would it be to purchase the tire say from tirerack and doing the change myself? Running on the little doughnut right now.

I had a flat several months ago. Went to the local Bridgestone dealer who informed me that that particular tire was not in their computer database. I then ordered it from tirerack and got it for ~$63 to my door. I spent another $10 getting it mounted and balanced.

Good Luck
