Continental DWS06+ and an alignment. 106,040 miles, done today. They even washed it. I guess they would have also replaced the fob remote battery if it needed it.

Airmatic info. Two different model year ranges but not sure these are very different.

Well that was a waste. Heard and felt this but I concluded I would drive on it straight to Tire Pros. That was a mistake. I wish I just changed it right there. I guess I've driven with things on my tire without even knowing it that I didn't think much about it but this was a rather large bolt and I should have known better.

Made it into the Newport Bridge and the bolt flew off quickly discharging the air. It is not safe to pull over on the bridge so I had no choice but to drive on a flat.
Pulled off in Jamestown at the EZpass office and changed the tire in that lot. Tried to use my old E55 air pump but the switch was acting up and it kept starting and stopping - until it flew the power port fuse on the car.

Fortunately I was able to get by on the 50 psi that it did have.

But yeah my brand new tire is trash. Need to see if there was any road hazard as part of these so I'll try to call the dealer today.

So going to do road hazard replacement through MB Warwick. Neat. Have an appt 1pm Sat so I guess I'll inquire about my thermostat issue then.
