Exclamation Pothole

Watch out for potholes going west on Nort Ave. right under I290 bridge. I messed up one tire, thankfully the rim is ok and i was wondering if any of you guys have a stock 225/50/17 Dunlop 5000dsst runflat tire laying around?
If you have, pm me with the price.

i have run flats (4) basically new tires in my garage but they are 18". If that helps out let me know. They are also summer tires so not the best in this area right now.

Gytis,

Donatas will get you one cheap. If not, I have a hook-up at Discount Tire. Potholes line Archer Ave through Lemont as well guys, so watch it. I am actually Gun-Shy after what happened to my month old MOMO and tire last year (exactly a year ago).

ble with the wacky weather this season from unseasonably warm to mother f***ing cold the roads are not taking it very well. Already blew a tire about 2 weeks ago and still reeling over it. wish spring would come already...

I also hit a really bad one on I-88 West, just past the tool plaza after getting on from I-290. It felt like I was in a minor accident...can't believe I didn't blow a tire.
