e30mpower is on a distinguished road
Rode on a mini-spare today....

My friend and I were out this afternoon when suddenly my left rear tire blew out. My spare was serving time at my left front corner from a blowout a few weeks ago. Pep Boys wasn't able to save the tire, and tried to push me into buying a new one for like $140, which I declined since I had already planned on buying four new Latitudes next week. My friend gave me the donut out of his 07 E60 as to get me home.

Of course DSC and ABS freak out since it was expecting a full-size tire, so it was trying to intervene on this "rogue" wheel. I pulled all the fuses for DSC, ABS, ETC, CBC, all that and drove the 30 miles home. Then I got to thinking, did I damage the diffs or tranny? I'm taking it in tomorrow for its Latitudes.
