Must have been some pretty dirty rain.

I'd laugh at this if Goodyear in Calgary (called Fountain Tire) hadn't charged me $131.33 last week in Calgary for a runflat repair. $100 for the repair, $18 for a balance, $5.50ish for a patch and GST (6%) on top of everything.
I gotta say this is a pretty hefty premium for the joy of running runflats. And I'm supposed to feel lucky it was fixable? I'm pissed about these runflats. Stiff, expensive to replace, expensive to repair, they feel square pulling out of the garage!! It's crap!!
