Two Dead Wheels
Thanks to a large bit of concrete debris left on the roadway, I now need two new wheels on the right side of my C55. Totally hosed the front wheel, completely deflating the tire within a few seconds of impact. Rear wheel fared slightly better with a significant bend both on the inner and outer edges.
Suspect substantial internal damage to both tires. Sucks since they were in relatively good shape... so much for a nice relaxing weekend at the beach with a little work mixed in...
BTW, the compact spare ... can it be recompacted? It is really a screwy little wheel / tire combo. Very bizarre watching it inflate. Seems to be working just fine though.

sorry to hear about the rough ride-I havent played with the spare yet-but rumor has it that it can be deflated and shaped back to its orig size (I dont know how much work goes into it tho...)-what kind of rims are they/ Stockers?
