nadale na rin ako diyan. pero di ko alam na flat tire na pala ako. napansin ko lang na may paling iyung manibela ko sa kaliwa. tinignan ko sa may bandang IPI na ako. hayun, tube ng payong na may tulis ang dulo. tube ang ginawang pambutas para tiyak na sisingaw.

Report nayan.

Buti kung maayos sa pag vulcanize e, a low profile tire for a 17 inch rim cost upwards of 5k each! Tapos bubutasin nila para sa P50? Susmarya!

nde lang yan, pag kumagat ka dun sa modus operandi nila, lalo ka pang maloloko.

Paglublob nila nang gulong mo dun sa isang maliit na container with full of water (para makita kung anong part nang gulong may butas..dahil sa bula), may nagaabang sa ilalim nun na mga 5-6 na pakong bakya na cguradong magpapadagdag sa butas. Pag angat nila nung gulong mo, sasabihin nila na heto yung iba pang mga butas. Syempre dagdag kita sa kanila yun.

Mautak din noh.

Thanks for the warning. Pass by there occassionally as well.

Kaya diretsuhin nyo na lang yung EDSA kaysa mag-C5 pa kayo.

While I've heard horror stories about the C5 flat-traps, I've never been victim to them. It's fairly simple... drive in line behind other vehicles, keep your distance so you can see the road, and keep your speed down so you can avoid them. I've been doing C5 between QC and the SSH ever since it opened, and I haven't fallen victim yet.

But bring a can of fix a flat and a good crocodile jack if you need to... doesn't hurt to be overprepared.
