Corrections & Updates Log

Factual accuracy matters when you're reading roadside safety guidance. This page logs every substantive correction we publish across our mobile tire service content — what changed, when, and why. We believe mistakes should be dated, attributed, and searchable, not buried.

North Miami Tire publishes original editorial content covering mobile tire service, spare-swap protocols, sidewall damage triage, and Biscayne / NE 125th corridor coverage. Whenever we discover an inaccuracy — a wrong price, an outdated zone reference, a misattributed statistic — we fix it in-place and add a dated entry here.

If you spot something that looks off in our copy, please tell us. Email [email protected] with the page URL and the line in question. Verified fixes are typically published within five business days.

Highway-Blowout Scenario Page — Speed Reference Adjusted

Why this correction was made: a reader flagged that our initial copy stated drivers should "immediately pull into the left lane" during a high-speed blowout. Florida Statute §316.155 plus FMCSA roadside guidance were inconsistent with that instruction.

Original Corrected

Original: "On a highway blowout, signal left and pull into the left lane to exit."
Corrected: "On a highway blowout, maintain grip, ease off the throttle, signal right, and exit toward the nearest shoulder. Left-lane maneuvers at speed can cause a secondary loss-of-control event."

Note Page also updated to include a 4-second scan reminder (mirror · shoulder · signal · ease) before any lane change. Cross-linked from highway-blowout scenario.

Run-Flat Scenario — Maximum Distance Reference

Why this correction was made: original copy generalized "you can drive 50 miles on a run-flat" without distinguishing between H-rated and V/W-rated run-flat compounds, which behave differently after pressure loss.

Original Corrected

Original: "Run-flats give you about 50 miles of driving after a puncture."
Corrected: "Most H-speed-rated run-flats allow roughly 50 miles at reduced speed (under 50 mph). V/W/Y-rated run-flats typically permit shorter distances — sometimes as little as 15–25 miles — because higher speed ratings come with stiffer sidewalls that dissipate heat faster. Always consult the specific tire's manufacturer placard."

Service Area Page — NE 163rd Street Coverage Window

Why this correction was made: we initially advertised "full coverage to NE 163rd" but our dispatch radius west of Biscayne stops short at NE 151st due to flood-prone routing on NE 163rd west of US-1 during summer storms.

Original Corrected

Original: "Full dispatch coverage along the NE 163rd corridor, west to the levee."
Corrected: "Standard dispatch along NE 163rd between Biscayne Blvd and NE 14th Ave. West of NE 14th Ave, coverage is weather-dependent — we typically avoid the flooded underpass zone during tropical-storm advisories."

Pricing Page — Plug Repair Add-On Amount

Why this correction was made: our pricing table initially showed plug repair as a flat add-on without specifying that plug-only repairs are not recommended for tires that have already been driven flat for more than a mile — which violates Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) guidance.

Original Corrected

Original: "Plug repair: add $10 to any service."
Corrected: "Plug repair: add $10 to a flat-from-debris swap, performed only when the tire has been plugged before any extended low-pressure driving. Plugs are not applied to tires driven flat more than one mile — those require full replacement."

About / Editorial Page — Founding Year

Why this correction was made: our editorial page initially said the operation began in 2019. After reconciling business records, the actual first dispatch was in January 2020.

Original Corrected

Original: "Operating since 2019 on the Biscayne corridor."
Corrected: "Operating since January 2020 along the Biscayne / NE 125th corridor."

Linked Editorial standards page updated to match.

Sidewall Puncture Scenario — Repairability Statement

Why this correction was made: an earlier draft implied that some sidewall punctures could be repaired. Industry consensus (and USTMA) is unambiguous: sidewall damage is not repairable.

Original Corrected

Original: "Some sidewall punctures smaller than ¼ inch may be repairable."
Corrected: "Sidewall punctures of any size are not repairable. The structural integrity of the sidewall cannot be restored by any plug or patch procedure recognized by USTMA, RMA, or major tire manufacturers. Replacement is mandatory."

Linked Sidewall-puncture scenario page updated.

No-Spare Tire Page — Hold Amount Wording

Why this correction was made: our diagnostic page referenced a $40 hold but did not specify that the hold is fully refunded if the vehicle is towed instead of serviced.

Original Corrected

Original: "A $40 hold is placed on your card when dispatch begins."
Corrected: "A $40 authorization hold is placed on your card when dispatch begins. The hold is fully released if we determine the tire is unrecoverable on-site and you choose to have the vehicle towed instead of serviced."

FAQ — Spare-Swap Torque Specification

Why this correction was made: our initial answer listed 80 lb-ft as the lug torque for a typical compact spare. Most compact-spare specifications call for 70–80 lb-ft, with several manufacturers specifying 76 lb-ft. The single number was misleading.

Original Corrected

Original: "Tighten the lug nuts to 80 lb-ft in a star pattern."
Corrected: "Tighten the lug nuts to the manufacturer-specified torque (typically 70–80 lb-ft for compact spares, often 76 lb-ft) in a star pattern. Refer to the door-jamb placard for your specific vehicle."

Linked FAQ page updated.

How It Works Page — ETA Phrasing

Why this correction was made: we initially described our arrival as a "guaranteed 15 minutes." Because traffic, weather, and concurrent dispatches create real-world variance, an unconditional guarantee is inaccurate. We rephrased to clarify the operational target.

Original Corrected

Original: "We guarantee a 15-minute arrival anywhere in our coverage zone."
Corrected: "Our operational target is 15 minutes from dispatch confirmation to on-site arrival across the core Biscayne / NE 125th corridor. In rare cases (severe weather, I-95 lane closures, or after-hours overflow) arrival can run longer. We notify you the moment a delay is forecast."

Bal Harbour Border Page — Postal Code Coverage

Why this correction was made: we listed 33154 as a fully covered postal code for the Bal Harbour border area. Because Bal Harbour is a separate municipality with its own dispatch pricing, we adjusted the wording.

Original Corrected

Original: "Full coverage in 33154 (Bal Harbour border)."
Corrected: "Border coverage in 33154 (Bal Harbour). Service is available but a small border surcharge applies for dispatches inside the village limits — confirmed at booking."

Linked Bal Harbour border area page updated.

Spare-Install Scenario — Jack Point Reminder

Why this correction was made: a reader working on a 2018 Nissan Sentra pointed out that our spare-install copy did not explicitly warn about the reinforced pinch-weld jack point that exists on many modern unibody vehicles. Missing this warning can crush the sill.

Original Corrected

Original: "Position the jack under the vehicle's lift point."
Corrected: "Position the jack on the marked lift point — usually a small notch behind the front wheel or ahead of the rear wheel. Many unibody vehicles have a reinforced pinch-weld jack point; lifting off-point can crush the sill or buckle the floor pan."

Linked Spare-install scenario updated with a visual diagram reference.

Our Correction Policy

In-place edits are dated.

When we correct a published page, we update the live copy and add a dated entry here. We never silently rewrite history — the original wording is preserved in the entry above.

Sources are cited.

Where industry standards (USTMA, RMA, FMCSA, Florida DOT) drive the correction, we link or name the source. Editorial opinion is clearly labeled as such and never mixed with technical fact.

Reader submissions welcome.

If you've spotted a possible error, email [email protected] with the page URL and the line. Verified submissions are acknowledged in the entry.

Five business-day response.

Most reader-flagged corrections are reviewed and resolved within five business days. Urgent safety items are escalated same-day. We'll always tell you if a flagged "error" was actually intentional framing.
