Just curious, did you use a combi patch or just a radial patch on it?

Hit a rock and blew right front tire- still stable like Pierre said
Like Pierre said, losing air wasnt the worst although it did pull to the right. Last Monday on our way to Tucson we got caught in a heavy downpour and I hit a rock washed down on the road and blew the sidewall on the right Kumho . I couldn't get a Kumho at the Show Low AZ Discount tire shop (nearest supply was either Nevada or Dallas TX). I do feel that the heavier sidewal and carcass of the Kumho prevented damage to the wheel and allowed me to roll about two miles to a wide spot where I could pull over safely.
Had to wait 3 hrs for a flat bed tow with alternating rain with some hail, but it could have been worse.
The Discount tire shop had a set of Nankang AS-1 tires in the same 155/60R15 size at $61 a piece so I now have run them about 1000 miles with good roll and balance, but am not as pleased with their grip. They seemed to drift a little too much on the curves. I may need to to play with the pressures as I still have them at about 20 psi. But they were a godsend when you're stranded on the road.
I just ordered a Kumho replacement and a couple of the Federal Formozas for wifes F3T from Walmart so that maybe I can count on them on the road..
Completed the trip with the Nankangs and just lost a day but beautiful country after the sun came out DSCN2715.jpg

i will never own runflat tires produced under current quality. major problem they cause dents & cracks in rims
and have a much higher rate of bubbles. AAA agrees with me on this whole heartedly.
