Two flats on the road in 50+ years and about 40,000 miles with the '34, both occurred on the Tappan Zee Bridge over the Hudson which doesn't have a breakdown lane or shoulder, and both flats on the traffic side! No cops to come along behind you with flashing lights, all I had was one of those little plastic red triangles. Would I do such a tire change again - NO, I'd call AAA.

But the tires came out of the fender wells fully inflated and without interference; perhaps your tires are oversize or in some way a bit wider than the originals?
