Default First breakage

Well I was on my second complete donut when I hit a rut while sliding sideways. Not that hard of a hit but I guess it was well placed cause instantly I saw my low tire pressure gauge come on. Turns out I broke the seal at the bead and some mud got in there so it wouldn't seat itself. 15 minutes later I had the spare on and was back in action. The only thing to blame this on is the 18 inch rims. (with a taller sidewall this would not have happened) But its ok cause there is no damage and I love the 18s. No pics cause you can't even really see anything...mainly just herd the gail force winds coming out around the rim.

Spare tires are your friends! Glad it worked well for you.
