I was willing to trade 10% of my ride comfort for 100% peace of mind.

Fitted with the original DriveGuard tires, I felt invincible, even if the ride was a bit rough. I decided that safety and peace of mind were more important to me, so I opted for a set of four “extended-mobility tires” from Bridgestone.

Peace of mind comes with running a run-flat tire yet would I miss the smooth ride of a traditional touring tire? Of course, I knew there was a solution, but like all choices, there were tradeoffs. I’ve been changing tires since I was 16 years old, but I vowed that this would be the very last tire I would change myself on the side of a highway. Instead, I was stranded on the side of the highway with no cell reception and 80,000 pounds of semi-truck blowing by me.

I suppose it could have been much worse, so I should have been thankful.
