Guess the stealership bill vRockVsTire
|
|
Wife: 'Driving home and a big bouncing rock humped the car, I have a flat'
Me: 'Rocks aren't sharp, they don't give you a flat'
She limped it to the side of the Gardiner somewhere, waited for Volvo SoS tow truck, guy installed the spare, didn't check the pressure  , she drove another ~40km home local. I checked the pressure at night, and it was 37.5, on a 'INFLATE TO 60PSI' spare  )
Pic:
 I don't think the tire's salvageable.... 
I hope the spare is salvageable, as it'd probably have 50 local km on it by the time it's all said and done.

see if you can find another spare off a salvaged car from the junker... might be the cheapest route

Real answer is to buy a new car.

The final tally:
1x new tire (21" OEM): $510
1x new rim (21"): $1200
Labour: (30mins): $65
- No TPMS, no centre cap (re-use existing)
Total: $2000
