Fox 4 warns us that driving Southwest Trafficway might eat your tires. The streets are being repaved and manhole covers jutting above ground are killing tires. Fox 4's Paul Herdtner claimed the station was working for a woman whose tire popped after hitting one of the covers (way to work in the slogan). But working for her would mean actually helping change her tire, which a tow truck driver did, not just letting her use the station's driveway. Anyway, if Southwest Trafficway pops your tire, call the city's legal department. They may just pay the bill.

Um, didn't Southwest Trafficway just get resurfaced a year ago? The city couldn't allocate its repaving resources to streets that haven't seen any attention for a decade?

So: [Insert Any Road In Kansas City] may eat your tires if it happens to currently be being re-paved and you don't account for that and adjust your speed appropriately?
At least the fine reporters at Fox 4 don't have to leave the comfort of their offices to manufacture some outrage.
