Blew a tire on the Yellowhead at 5pm rush hour

Hit a pothole near the Capilano bridge exit and my rear tire went flat instantly. Had to pull over on the shoulder with semis flying past at 80 clicks. Anybody know a decent tire shop on the east side that won't try to upsell me on rims?

Holy crap, 80 clicks while you're stuck on the shoulder? That's terrifying.

I hit a deer doing 65 on I-75 last fall, @lucas63, and the scariest part wasn't the impact. It was the 45 minutes I sat there with my flashers on, watching semis blow past at 70 miles an hour. The whole car shook every time one went by. Your shoulder might feel like a safe spot, but it's really just a skinny strip of luck.
