- Hi -- I had a blowout on I-84 this afternoon, and need to replace a
- tire. The tire is for a 1992 Honda Accord EX Sedan (Michelin (MXR-V?)
- 195/60 (I think) R15). I was quoted $120 by a Michelin dealer in
- Conn., and I'm going to the Honda dealer tomorrow afternoon to try to
- see what I can do.
-
- My questions are as follows: First of all, does anyone know of a good
- place for me to buy the tire in the Boston (Waltham -> Newton ->
- Boston) area? Any better Honda dealer than Herb Chambers?
-
- Secondly, should this 'blowout' (considered a "Road Hazard") be
- covered under my warantee, &/or would it be covered by another brand
- of tire?
-
- I'll be on the net from 8:30am to 1pm tomorrow, so if you can let me
- know your comments & suggestions, I will be most appreciating.
-
- Thanks,
- -=Alan
