On the way to the Parade (both trunks packed full), I noticed I had a flat on the right rear while refueling. I carry an air compressor and plug kit and intended to use it. Upon pumping up the tire, I noticed a egg on the sidewall. Evidently the tire had been flat for some time (doing 80 on the Interstate). Bottom line even though it was a Saturday at 3 PM, I found a Bridgestone dealer a 1/2 mile away that had a pair of W rated tires (168 MPH) in the right size (17"). An hour later, we were back on the road although we left $323 behind. Not bad!!!! BTW they are Fuzion ZR-1s, and for the money they are great deal, although I would never buy them under any other circumstances. No sign of wear after 5000 miles to the Parade and back.
