The last car she had was outfitted with low profile sport tires. You know, the higher pressure, really thin ones? Those things you have to keep topped off with air because there's not much cushion there to begin with. I didn't have an air compressor at that time. She refused to keep the tires filled regularly. Apparently, much like the shoemaker elves, it was my job to do it in the middle of the night with a turkey baster or drive it to a gas station. Therefore, a couple times a year (pothole), we had to pay to get a rim fixed at the local metal shop across town. The spare in that car got plenty of use as well.
