nine inch nails


okay i've got the tire fixed, and discovered that there are 2 nails, instead of just 1. one of the nails hit the sidewall, which meant that simple plugging wasn't going to work. the tire shop had to take out the whole thing and plaster it from within. since they were at it, i decided to do balancing and rotation as well. then got them to fill nitrogen. why nitrogen? inert. runs colder, less expansion problems. used in indy 500, airplanes. it won't cause as much corrosion as normal air would to the metal parts and rubber. but it's not cheap, $32 for an initial fill, $5 per refill for 4 tires tho. then i didn't know how to initialize my tires and had to go down to pml to get my csa to demonstrate it to me. *slaps forehead*

but all is well now!
