I have one flat tire on my stock Potenza RE070 tires and all the local places I've called so far don't have the tire in stock and they also can't shave the tire to match the other treads.

Does anyone know any places somewhat local to me that offer a tire shaving service? The farthest I can really go out right now would probably be in the Gilroy area.

Thanks.

The only place I know of is Custom Alignment in Mountain View

Yeah the thing is I don't know exactly how much tread needs to be shaved off of it. I thought about getting it repaired but it looks like the puncture is too close to the sidewall so I'm not entirely sure if that would work.

Would I be able to order one tire from you, and bring in my flat one to have the treads matched?

There's a puncture or nail? Picture?

It's looks like a nail came in and fell out, I'll try to get a picture of it. The tire looks in rough shape because I was in the middle of the highway when it happened and the sidewall looks fairly cracked/damaged.

Wow didn't know our Subies were that sensitive. How much difference in tread size before a shave is needed?

I'm too lazy to clean the insides of the wheels. Well now that I bought some Sonax Wheel Cleaner I will.

No I only drove it to Walmart then to the mall. The blow out happen on Highway 1.

I believe it has to be within 2/32-inch of eachother and the tires already have about 12k miles on them.

yeah its a ridiculous amount of difference that can f you over in a short amount of time luckily I was stupid while I had warranty and got a new rear diff. but regardless since it blew Jody just get a new one. you dont know how the sidewall inside is gonna look either.

Yeah I'm just gonna have to get a measurement of the remaining tread and call Tire Rack and have them shave the tire for me. Sucks that the car is stuck at my gf's house.
