I was shopping for a car/SUV recently and was given the story about tire technology changing and tires being so good they never fail :) wish I could remember the precise words but good discussion since I never bought the car due to supply chain issues and now I will remember to ask the details.

I got a flat in my rental car last week. It ended up costing me about 3-4 hours out of my day to have a mobile tire guy dispatched from 40 miles away. No spare in the vehicle, so I had no choice but to wait.

I found it funny when I looked closer and realized that the tire that failed didn't match the other three. I think that particular wheel was cursed since the car only had 26k miles on it.
