Just had to dig out a jackstand for the RR tire replacement on Dad's Mistress, my 73 all original teener. Put new Michelin Pilots on all 4 corners less than 100 mi. ago, and drove her to Krogers to freshen up the battery charge. Came out to find a shiny nail in the very edge of the tread, and when I pulled it out the tire went flat PRONTO! Did I mention that it was 16 degrees F, and I'm changing the flat in a busy Kroger parking lot? Took it to tire dealer and it has to be replaced, so here's the question- do any of you CSOB's buy road hazzard insurance on your new rubber? This might be my first time to do so-it's $11 per tire for life of tread, which should be a long time on the "Mistress." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Once I started keeping my cars I buy the insurance. So I don't have to pay for balance, rotation and hazard. If you keep your cars it is a good investment.
