Five roofing nails in four years. It’s a plague

One flat, plugged myself.

I use Spring and Fall Air all year round. Not such a temperature difference.

2 flats in three years. One a roofing nail, one a screw.

Recently looked at a new car. Inspected trunk. No spare.
Salesman said; we can add that.

Where's the jack? uhhh, no.

Yeah, I know most of you call aaa or such. 30 minutes to 3 hours.
And plugging on the side of the road - if possible. Naaaa.

I am still capable of changing a spare in about 7 minutes. Old school ?
and then get it patched right - not plugged.

One flat in four years — screw in sidewall.

hahaha

Whoa. Even if you call AAA they'll still put your spare on until you repair/replace the tire. Thanks for this heads up, I wouldn't have thought it may not be included.

I guess I have been lucky. I have been driving since I was 14 years old, and now 77 years of age. I averaged over 70K miles a year for about 40 years working in outside sales, and now put on about 25K a year. In over 60 years of driving, I have never had a flat tire other than rocky dirt roads back home in Kansas before I left home. I do have to seasonally adjust for temperature changes, but after switching to Nitrogen, that is a minumum effort.

Flat tires
 

Are you driving through all the construction sites? Been here ten years and no tire problems

Sorry, the ideal gas law still applies and you will still see approximately 1PSI change in pressure for every 10F change in temperature regardless of whether you have 100% nitrogen or air (which, BTW, is 78% nitrogen).

Very lucky

Flat tires
 

We’ve found that if the tire is >5 yrs old they will not fix it. Told that tires >5 yrs old must be replaced by FL

That should be 10 years, usually company policy that they'll refuse to fit it beyond 10 - covering their heinies. Tires do rot.
Sure they'll try to sell you new tires at 5 or 7.

Tires do lose pressure. Everything loses pressure over time, even Pepsi bottles (especially when heated).

I check'up every few months, and especially before a trip of any distance maybe >100 miles.
