so..... i woke up this morning...... and looked outside. To my suprise i see my car with a flat tire, go out to look if it was slashed and no, it was a nail. GURRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No wonder my car started to shake horribly.. lol.... wow, good thing it didnt blow when i was driving 80+ on the freeway..... that woulda been horrible......... so now i gotta go get a new tire? or maybe they could patch it good enough, i hope so.

 

they can patch it if the puncture isn't on or very close to the sidewall...

and also, if you drove on it very long while flat, then it can't be repaired. the only way to tell if you road on it too long would be to have the tire demounted and see if there are any tire shavings inside....

if a lot of shavings, your tire is trash

 

Wow that sucks. Did you buy any warrenty with the tire? Also if you drove on it did you damage the rim at all?

 

That does suck, but like you said, better it happend before you started driving.

 

That sucks...but it could be worse. At leas the car's not damaged. smile.gif

 

^^^That, and at least nothing happend and you weren't injured. Glad you found out the problem though.

 

the nail is about half inch from the side wall 02.gif its in the part that makes contact with the ground. Hopefully they can repair it. I dont think i got a warranty, but i just bought them like 2 months ago..

I do not think that i drove it on when it was flat... pretty sure, it was normal, and then lost air over night.

 

^^ You didn't hear the nail when you were driving?
