Yep... up I-77/I-81.
Let me know what mile marker you're at and we'll wave!  As for tires, we got a pretty good deal on 4 new Michellins. As always, God put us where we needed to be. The tire held until we could get off the highway. We have a nice, full-size spare and it took 10 minutes to change tire. We were 20 miles from a Costco we were familiar with and were able to get right in. All in all, pretty lucky. I don't know what happened to the tire. I checked the tires earlier before we left and everything was cool. At some point during the trip we started to feel a little vibration. It started getting worse pretty fast and we limped to an exit. What we saw wasn't good. I guess with the warmer climate things shifted and the tread separated. Besides, the tires were old. I think they were actually the original ones on the vehicle so they didn't have many miles, but a lot of age. Well... we're back on the road again and heading north. A bit of a detour, but none the worse for the wear. (Although a few dollars lighter.) Hopefully this is the worst of it and the rest of the weekend will be smooth sailing! Take care.
