Default F***ing Spare Tire

So I'm driving home today and the car starts to shake, sure enough flat tire on the drivers side. Of course the brains at Audi give us unidirectional tires. What a pain. Anyone know of a cheap place in SoCal to get tires?

Piece of metal went in across the tread, darn thing was about two inches wide. Tire shop said no, but I am getting a second opinion.

Default www.victoriatire.com ..their prices compare to TireRack, they are also local... (more)

...so that you can pick them up. They are out in the boonies (Huntington Park) though, but I happen to know some that works there. Go there and ask for Gabriel. He should hook you up w/ the internet prices...and charge you $10/wheel to mount and balance them.

Tell him Jeff w/ the Grey Supra sent you..and he should know who you're talking about.

Good luck.
