I have had a few tires shred on me. I used to carry all of my car tools in my trunk. I took them out to work on some project and then locked them in our shed. I am not sure when I did that, but my fuel economy is down compared to last year, but there are too many variables in play.

My roommate had a flat yesterday. His spare was flat. A neighbor had a compressor, but it only seemed to make noise, so we used my bike pump.

The spare was rated to 60 PSI!

That took a while to inflate with a bike pump. It was a good reminder to check my spare tire, though, which I still need to do, as well as try to get my jack working one last time, or put my floor jack back in.

What good is a spare without a jack?!
