Damn! Just saw a nail in my front passenger side SO3...........................didn't take it out yet......wondering what i should do..... I don't feel like replacing all 4 yet, since there are still like 50% thread........
Should I fix it with those crappy tire fix kit or patch it at kragen? What would you guys do?


I was thinking about going to the track on Nov11 too.........damn!!!

 

bring it to a tire shop to patch it. or give all 4 to me.

 

About how much will it cost to patch it?

it is still gonna be safe on a track? should I switch it to the rear or something?

 

It shouldn't cost more than $10-20 to patch. I wouldn't track them though.

to patch at a shop should cost no more than 8 bucks i think.

 

i've used the do-it-yourself patch kits, and i'm pretty sure it can handle a track day or two.

 

Where is the nail positioned in the tire? Middle of tread? Near the sidewall?

 

right in the middle of the tread.

 

oh well, I guess my car doesn't want me to bring it to the track for the first time........

 

go to america's tire. they will fix it for free

 

Where is america's tire? (BTW i live in SF)

I just ask kragen and they are charging me $45 for the patch!...........

Anywhere else I can go? sears?

 

Big O does it for free most of the time as well. Otherwise, I believe its $5-10 for one tire.

Personally, I would never trust Big O, they have screwed up on my stuff too many times

 

i just asked sears , they said $25....


and yeah..i've heard bad things about big o as well...

 

Big O is no good. America's Tire is good, and I've had satisfactory experience with Wheel Works.
