Agree, but, I the new tires were en route and it wasn't worth dismounting and remounting a junk tire. Got me through a month, and it was a run flat after all, worse it could do is lose air.

By the way my local tire installer charged $220 for R & R and Balance all 4. Purchased Micheleins from Tire Rack and brought them over to him-total bill was about $1400.00
