I had 4 nails in my rear tires oem 18s... got them patched at good year...ran them until they were practically slicks...pushed them to the limits and they were fine.

 

Whats funny is that people will pay for the cars with whatever options they want but when it comes to maintanence they go cheap...you get what you pay for just remember that the only things that are keeping you connected to the ground on your car are the brakes and tires...

 

Fixing run flats vs radial tires are totally different. With radial tires, fixing a flat using those pep boy kits may do the trick but with run flats, you need to plug the hole and seal the inside. I had a DIY website but forgot it now. Try searching it on the forum. Paying $400-something is a bit excessive for our Bridgestones when you could get it for $250 +/-. Do an online search for our tire specs and either look for something comparable to ours or better.

 

who has run flats??

 

Didn't your sports tuned suspension pkg w/ 19" rims come with run flats? nm...i checked. Mines are run flats, but factory's aren't.

 

Get some new tires...unless of course you enjoy having your car sound like a Sammy Davis Jr. tap dance at 80 mph

 

It actually sounds more like sexual intercourse at slow speeds around 25-35 mph well, I was told so by a few friends I drove lol

I think I would need new tires, at least rear. I called Miller Infiniti they said it will be $360 each rear and $350 each front + Fixing fee. It would take a week to get tires for them.

I asked if I can still drive, maintenance guy said "No problem, just don’t drive to Vegas".


g35rcr, I know we pay easy for all options but paying almost $1500 for tires sounds a little costy, considering lease would be over soon, well in about a year

 

you can pick up tires used as well at discount tire for a major price reduction...ive gone through my 3rd set of tires, last set was because of new wheels, and it hurts but I can't put a price on my safety...there are people on the forum that sell stock tires cheap as well

 

Just to let you know, Tirerack.com sells the Bridgestones for $253 front and $274 rear but you gotta find out how much Just Tires or Pep Boys charges for installation.

 

Miller Infiniti has one tire in stock, rear one, I guess for now I will be changing one.
Pepboys told me these tires would cost around 470 each, unbelievably overpriced!

Imagine having Pagani Zonda or Enzo, how much it would cost to change the OEM tires lol $2000 each and probably would need to change every 5000 miles.

 

I drove my OEM's till they were slikkks(12k miles), when i had them taken off i realized there was a nail in the rear, so thats y i had to keep puting air in that 1 ....lol
But i had them replaced with toyo T1r's for like 950 installed...
