Just because people ask "how often do you ever have a flat tire", I like to post every time I get a flat tire and have to have my car towed because it doesn't have a spare. Anyway, missed seeing a pot hole today and it blew out the tire on my 3, and I had to be towed back home. My last flat was on my S a year or two ago. I seem to average 1 flat tire every year or two.
Also, I think it's time I finally found a spare for each car, both my Performance 3 (Stealth, with the 19" wheels, not sure what caliper size it has) and my 2014 Model S P85. They can be butt ass ugly, and don't have to fit inside the car nicely; they can be full size, or not, doesn't matter so long as it works. Most flats I get are close to home, so someone could just bring me the spare rather than having to arrange a tow when I get a flat (arranging a tow is costly and time consuming). If you have any recommendations for cheap spares for either the 3 or S, let me know!
