Went through my rear tire at around 850 miles. Nail on the road. A big one (had the dealer show it to me). Cost $150.00 for the same tire installed. A grand total of $450.00 after the tow, and, of course, with a $500.00 deductable insurance policy. The dealer wanted me to put on a cheaper tire he had in stock. I refused because, as far as I know, I was able to HAVE that conversation because my tire blew out SLOWLY, giving me time to haul her down. Sometimes it´s best to just grin and bear it but don´t slight yourself on the quality of your ride.
