Nail on Tire

new0rder · 08-05-2013, 12:39 PM

I just discover this today

these are new tires put in this March, order from Tirerack.

What should I do, take it out? or leave it, right now there is no leak.

Don't take it out just yet, because it will probably start leaking right away. Go to tyreshop as soon as possible and ask if they can remove it and then patch it, if not then you have to buy new tyre.

By the looks of it, that tire is toast. I would replace it.

They won't be able to patch it. It already punctured the sidewall...

No tire insurance?

This tire is shot. Sorry, but you'll have to replace it, it is unsafe.

Yes. When you purchase your tires from tirerack, you have the option to purchase their "Road Hazard Program". It's probably like $15-16 a tire so it would set you back around $60-65 for it. You should of gotten your tires at Costco! They have a pretty good deals.

That sucker is on the sidewall.
Go to a tire shop and see what they got to say first.
