yeah uhm i just got my tires about 1500 miles ago, theres a nail in one.. what do i do?

i drive hard on my tires so which method of tire repair should i do?

 

In the tread or sidewall? If it's in the tread most auto parts stores sell patch kits you can use with the tire still on the rim. If it's in the sidewall, your only option is to try and get the tires replaced under warrenty.

 

take it to america's tire co.

they've repaired 2 flats for me for FREE even though i didn't buy the tires from them.

 

Even if they don't do it for free, flat repairs are pretty cheap to do.

 

yeah, shouldn't be more than $10-20 at most

Go to America's Tire. I used to work there and the method they use is MUCH better than the do-it-yourself methid. Instead of just forging a string with goo in the flat area, they dismount the tire, drill out the hole, buff the inner surfact, apply glue to the inner surface, and run a rubber strand through. Best part is that it is free, and guarenteed. However, if the hole is in the sidewall, or within about an inch of the sidewall they will not fix it for safety reasons. Take that rim off of the car and take it in as a "loose" and they will have it fixed for you in about an hour.

im not going to do it myself, i like to drive hard and on some rough roads so im gonna just go get it fixed, the money doesnt bother me really. just dont wanna get stuck on the side of the road

 

there is a spare in my trunk.

 

take it out.

 

Leave it in. It makes a cool sound when you drive on it.

 

Like I said, go to America's Tire, it's F R E E.

i dont have a americas tire around here i dont think.

petaluma, ca never heard of americas tire

 

Gotcha. Go to www.tires.com. I believe there is a store locator there to see if one may be near you. Discount Tire is the same as America's Tire if you have one of those.

Go to an autoparts store and get a plug kit. I've used them on many cars and even on the rear tire of a street bike. You will not have any issues if you install it correctly and you can do it with the tire on the car.
