So ;
We're zooming up the Pasadena Parkway in the '82 240D when I feel the rear end step out a bit on a corner , so I stopped at the next gas station and Lo ! there's a 10 penny nail sticking through the right rear tire , not far from that bad edge place where the tread meets the sidewall and cannot be repaired......
I Motored On sedatley to my buddy's tire shop a couple blocks away where he was able to install an inside patch and said it's fine .
This is the last of the KHUMO Korean $32 tires I'll never buy again , they seem to stick pretty well but I don't think they've lasted even 5 years and every time one goes flat it falls apart and isn't repairable . this one time I got lucky .
Another case of " Penny Wise and Dollar Foolish " as I bought _FIVE_ of the darn things , trying to keep SWMBO's car up nicely .
Also , I discovered water underneath the left side carpets again so I'm not done yet with the AC's evaporator tray drain...
