Was driving my Z8 in Miami and blew my tire...HELP!

So I'm driving enjoying a beautiful Miami night and my rear tire blows. It was like 10pm and I was really far from where I am staying. Luckily, this tow truck was driving by and he had access to a flat bed. Could have been worse, but, here's my problem.

Its Christmas tomorrow so no chance of getting a new tire and the 26th is sunday. So, this sucks big time. Anyone know who will have a Pirelli 285/35/19 tire in stock preferably in Florida?? Otherwise I have to order from tirerack and won't get the tire until Wednesday!! TIA

Sorry to hear about the problems!! Are you going to come to our lunch on the 26th??
Go anywhere but Tire and Wheel Choices
See here for why:
https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...+wheel+choices

I would try "Good Roads". They are in North Ft. Lauderdale and the best wheel/tire shop I have delt with in a long time. Not sure if they will be open or not... Also Sabel Chase in Miami is the wholesaler for just about every shop in S. FL . They will for sure have it in stock...
Good Luck,
Evan

No the entire side is blown out. I need to locate a tire quick. I am going back soon and need to fix the tire before I leave. As far as the 26th, I don't know if I can make it, my car is inoperable.
