Have you ever had a flat tire .or worse, a flat tire on the highway? Gina Stuelke has always been scared of having a flat tire when she is driving especially on the interstate in the rain and that’s exactly what happened recently! She was driving to work on I-70 in the rain and there was a volcano size pothole. It was one of those that are filled with standing water so you have NO idea how DEEP it is. Immediately, her dash lit up with yellow warning lights telling her a ...tire was in trouble. She exited as soon as possible. She was close to the office and remembered a neighbor across the street is in the tire business. Gina called Jose at KC X-treme Wheel Center at 3500 Truman Road. His number is (816) 321-1610. He assessed the type and size of tire she had after removing it to see if it could be repaired. Unfortunately, she had done damage to the tire by driving on it. (Worth it to not be stranded on the side of the road.) Jose located a replacement tire in his inventory, mounted and balanced it and brought it back for installation. Within a few minutes she was ready to get back on the road. Now that's service. We wanted to give a shout out to Jose... he's located across the street from Kenton Brothers! https://kc-xtreme-wheel-center.business.site/
