On my weekend trips there are two sections in the hills with frequent high wind warning. In recent months, I could feel getting pushed more than before. Will find out in a few weeks if the new tires grip the road better. There had been a few storms this year but I didn't feel unsteady in the...

My next car is going to be the Slate EV. 😁

Is there any way to avoid nails on the road? Like a super magnet mounted on the bottom of the front bumper or something, to pick them up before they stab the tires...

The first pic below (with a rock) shows the deformation on the inside of the tire. The second one shows the outside that sees the sun.

The new set arrived at the shop this afternoon so I went and got them mounted. Saved $20 by hauling the worn set home. Once at home, I was able to locate all 4 plugs plus a new puncture (brad nail?) that hasn't done any harm yet. 😬 I didn't notice that nail until I ran my hand down the...
