[DML] Re: Wheel Offset

["geoff_ombao" <geoff_ombao@xxxxxxxxx>]

My left rear tire recently blew ... I replaced it with the spare,
drove it around town looking for a new tire, then let it sit for 2
days until the tire arrived. The spare remained inflated, and I had no
problems. I'd guess that I ran on it about 10 miles.
