It's better to be lucky than good....but being prepared can stack odds for you..

Really... I certainly do wish you the best...... I find it interesting that you can have such a dim view of all the modern improvements over the years....why not enjoy them?

Anyway, I wanted to...

I looked that up and surprisingly true

Apparently...the power steering and suspension on the front which is MacPherson strut and tighter than the rear leaf springs....makes it more controllable on a front tire failure......

Actually... I think that they are all steel with chrome wheel covers....

What... Are you kidding???

Look.. I'm not jettisoning my spare tire....WHY would this make any sense??

I understand that the tire pressure monitoring system is only a warning

YES.... I completely understand that the TPMS is not going to STABILIZE the vehicle...

A friend of mine with a RT 210 experienced a blow out... nearly lost control of the vehicle and ALMOST rolled it. He was very lucky he didn't.
