Unhappy I got a flat

Driving down Cleveland in Clearwater, my tire blew out. So I figured I'd just throw the spare on it, and keep on going...No spare! What should I do now? Can I use a donut, or do I have to use a full size tire?

What's the Tire size currently on the car??? Is the front or Rear???

I believe you can use a Doughnut, my buddy Jose' had a flat on his Supra a while back, and he had a doughnut on it... Thing is, I believe you need to have a doughnut specifically for the Supra...

I called the used tire place, and they asked me too many questions about tire size and stuff. What should I tell them??

I think your car may be totalled, you should give it to me. How do people like this end up w/ performance cars? I'm sorry, I'm just jealous.

Seriously? The tire size is on the TIRE!!! Wow...

First number is width, next is sidewall length (profile), and then the next is the size (diameter) of the wheel.

check out www.tirerack.com for tire education.
