I do my best to live within my means and try to budget out for savings and some investing.
This budget cycle I was doing pretty well and thanks to a really large galvanized nail tearing a gaping hole in a tire, I got to blow the narrow pad, almost to the dollar. I love tire pressure sensors.
It seems I run a pricey tire that had to be ordered. At least it was delivered the same day. Tires (like most everything else) are insane price-wise.
But no harm was done to the wheel or anything else. I got a shirt kind of dirty.
Glad it turned out okay for you. We rely on technology and when it fails, it can be stressful.
