I had on MATT's black STMs and tires...the front left went flat and i drove on it ruining the tire (not the rim) that was already mostly bald

Now I have my STMs back on with the new fronts and the new rears are getting mounted as we speak.

You should get a 21mm narrow wall socket and keep it with you. Make sure you have a breaker bar to fit it too.

Are you sure that your 3/4" drive isn't a 1/2" and that the 1/2" isn't 3/8"? Just make sure everything fits up nicely before you need it again.

I had to take out my spare, so I have a bottle of slime, tire plugs, and an air compressor in case the same thing happens to me.

You might want to look into getting a compact bottle jack.

too bad the side wall completely ripped apart or that would have been a good solution to his problem.

But did the sidewall rip out before or after driving on it. A sidewall blowout is likely due to repeated underinflation.

We are talking about Wes......He was driving with his wheel turned 30 degrees to the left for 8 months before he realized he needed an alignment and a new set of tires.
