Yep. With only 952 miles. Like an idiot I bought a new tire instead of patching the old one, $100 installed.

[justification]Oh well, at least I'll have piece of mind knowing it's brand-new and not some patch job[/justification]

Why did you get a new tire. . . it was only flat onthe bottom!
Seriously, that is too bad - at least it was not a windshiled - I am on my third!

Oh man that reminds me. When I got a flat in Boston on vacation, the Firestone dealership wanted to charge me $290 installed for my tc! I nearly fell over. I drove over to sears and got it about $100 installed.

i got a flat on my xa about 1.5 weeks after getting it. it turned out to be a 3/4 inche screw imbedded in the tread. i put on the spare and u bought a 12 dollar bottle of SLIME from Auto Zone. its still leak free. this stuff works good. i would suggest to all to keep some in their cars along with an electric impact wrench. theyre both lifesavers
