A while back there was a local kerfuffle because some vandal was slashing the tires of cars which came to visit a local park at the top of a bluff. The vandal would only slash 3/4 tires and it apparently made getting insurance to cover it hell because insurance would cover 4 damaged tires but not only 3. Also 3 tires is more likely to be less than/about the insurance deductible thereby making it more costly to the owner. So the vandal was really causing maximum possible chaos by slashing only 3 tires
It’s not the cost, it’s the inconvenience.
Even if he has a spare tire for that monster, I wanna see him try replacing it, it’ll be hilarious.
Or he’ll have to call a tow and wait for it.
Either way, awesome. Push comes to shove, “your honor, I offer to settle this dispute by paying the cost of the valve I supposedly damaged.”
That’s an interesting perspective.
But usually the spare or donut comes with it’s own rim and valve… So shouldn’t need a tow.
But that’s also why you always slash more than one tire. Nobody is carrying multiple donuts.
