Thats part of the reason why I’m considering a TPMS…I’d know if I suddenly have a leak. ---

If I had brought a spare and used it, I more than likely would have done more damage to my differentials than a tow would have cost. I am going to look for some beat-but-straight 17 to put a stock STi tire on to use as a spare, though. Scared me straight I guess. ---
