7th Flat Tire Since Moving Here

[u/velo2002]

As title goes I’ve been in Eugene for 2.5 years now and just got my 7th flat tire. Tf is up with the roads here? 4 years in Portland never had an issue but it seems that shrapnel is just layed throughout the streets here. Seems to mainly be a problem on W 7th Ave when after 10:00 PM when everyone seems it’s fine to play crossy road (almost hit several people crossing in pitch black clothes in a pitch black street). Any cheaper alternatives than going to Les Schwab every time? It’s starting to become a recurring issue.

Big B tires in Glenwood is a good place to replace your tires. 7 flats in 2.5 years seems like a statistical anomaly. Are you sure you aren’t in some sort of Fight Club-esque scenario where your personality is split, and you’re purposefully driving into the potholes and shrapnel?

Check your tires after Big bs installs them. The last time I went there, my lug nuts were so loose I could hear them rattling.

Big B gave me a tire that exploded on i5 like ten minutes after buying it. They didn’t want to give me a different tire or give me my money back so I had to show up with a friend of mine who is a man and is about 6 foot tall and 250 pounds. When he walked in with the shredded tire and put it on their counter, they immediately gave me a new one. For context I’m a small girl. Was a real bummer and I never felt good going back.
