My thoughts exactly.

Bent wheel is more common than a flat. For me that is.

I don't think I ever gotten a flat due to puncture or something like that. All the flats I've had, it's a bent wheel.

So far, all my tires never got bald in 3-4 years. They don't last long enough. 20k miles and went through about 3-4 tires.

I could do that. But I don't want to be sitting on the side of the road waiting on my friend to pick up a wheel and bring it to me.
