So we got a dash of wet snow yesterday. Root Beer is my daily. I knew where the worst part would be and I was right. Corner of 320th and 32nd. I stop prior to making my free right up the incline. I begin my turn starts out fine, the the front end stsrts sliding left. Pure snot on the road. Hit the curb...Back up off the curb, point it up hill. Strsight up go into the parking lot, park. Look, no harm no foul. Wrong, after work noticed that the bump had push the beauty ring enough to pinch the valve stem enough to leak all the air out.

With the full size spare on, was able to get up to 60 without shimy or skake, yes!

Got air back in the tire now seeing how much more good luck I have.
 
I pray that you won't have any more bad luck till at least tomorrow and that you carry along with you one of those portable air compressors, just in case!!
 
gotta love full size spares

when I first got the 08 charger I bought a second set of rims for it with winter tires on it
since I now had 2 full sets of rims I had the brilliant idea of pitching the donut and slapping an actual wheel in the trunk
no matter how hard I slapped the wheel in there it would not fit
the spare wheel well is TOO SMALL FOR A FULL SIZED WHEEL
whats even more ridiculous is that the manual tells you to never run different sized tires because of the AWD system

I guess what im trying to say is, glad to hear you made it back safely
 
Woo! No issue with the flat! Got air in it,, held overnight.went for a drive no shimmies no shakes!

Though it would have been a great excuse to buy a set of 15" Magnums and get off the 14"
