    well running on a flat is not good on any tire but one with tall side walls is even worse :tsk: half a mile what was you thinking

    ding ding ding. we have a winner!!!!!
    that will damage the sidewall of the tire.
    i rember when you posted that and i warned you about the possiblity of that damage. you said the tire shop said it was good to go but they were wrong. well now you will have a good tire. rember to get a new valve stem when geting the tire put on. glad you werent hurt.
