So today I was happily driving down the road, minding my own business and whatnot, when all of a sudden, BAM!!!!!!!!!
My GF and I instantly go silent......
She asks: "Is your car ok?"
I slow and feel the shittiness of the road all throughout the car. While I've never actually experienced a blowout before, I had a bad feeling I new what it was.
I began slowing and at the next road I turned off. Sure enough, that thing was as squishy as a tomato.
After going through the bullshit of knowing exactly what to do (the 3 cars around me didn't) but not having the right tools, I eventually got it changed.
I even go to pump 60 PSI into my spare through a bike pump
Anyways, I got it all set and continued my journey to the liquor store. My GF stayed in the car and I went in. Whilst I was browsing for 120 minute IPA (extra expensive) I got a call on my super loud ringtone, causing everyone to look at me. It was my GF, and she asked me if my car was supposed to be buzzing. I immediately thought ABS pump. I asked her what it sounded like and she said fan or like my car was on. I headed back out the door and got in. I heard the noise, and figured out what it was. But telling you would defeat the purpose.
So, tests I did:
List your guesses below, and I can almost promise that noone will guess it.
I'll chime in with hints here and there.
Last 2 things:
Car handles like shit with spare on
It makes a humming noise. I'm assuming it's the spare. Luckily I bought the warranties on the tires so I get free new ones tomorrow!

But telling you would defeat the purpose.
So, tests I did:
- Made noise in all 3 ignition positions
- Made noise in every variation of the climate control
- It was a slight buzzing, it almost sounded like an electrical short or speaker feedback
- I pulled and pushed on the dashboard to no avail
- it wasn't the abs pump
