Gag me with a spoon. I have a flat tire.
I bought 4 tires from Costco about 4 months ago.
Then I had a flat tire three months ago.
Today, I took a short break to practice my Chin Ups and found out my car has a flat tire. Again~!! This time it's the rear right side.
Oh, my beautiful Costco tire.. 
Well, Costco didn't make the tires. I just bought them from Costco. To be honest, I don't even remember the brand name of my tires. All I know is that they are from Costco and Costco will take care of them.
Painful..
There was an AAA towing truck waiting for me. He knew the owner would come out sooner or later. He asked me if I wanted his service. I told him "no". Then he moved on.
I quickly replaced the tire with a spare. Replacing tire is easy if you have right tools.
** Make sure you have right tools to replace tires on your own. Do not assume your cellular phone will save the day. If you have never replaced a tire before you should try and see if you can do it. If you are a small person it will be almost impossible to unfasten the lug nuts with the wrench that comes with your car. You may have to buy a wrench like mine (below). You may need a better jack as well.
Above Jack and Lug Nut Wrench are NOT Toyota's stock supply.
Large Lug Nut Wrench & a good jack are must have items.
The tire laying flat on the ground is a spare.
My spare is a fully maintained brand new tire.
* I have a big shopping to do at Costco tomorrow, so I will check it in tomorrow.
