Nail in my front left tire - again!

I really dont' have time to go patch it up tomorrow. Is it okay if I drove another 100 miles with a nail in my tire?

depends... if ur tire pressure light comes on, then no, because your losing air. You should be fine with a 100, but get it done A.S.A.P

Should be fine. I have driven for months with a nail in my tire when I lived in Houston. Don't know why, but there are random nails all over the place in Houston. And it was a Honda, wouldn't let that happen to the infiniti.

The more you drive on it, the less likely it is that the tire will be able to be patched.... particularly if it's a big nail/screw in there. If you drive a lot on a big nail/screw, it will make a bigger hole in the tire.

Why not just throw the spare tire on and keep the car off the highway if you really must drive on it?

It's fine...don't worry about it. It won't get pushed in anymore than your treads wearing down. Fill the air and monitor it to see how fast the air's leaking. Geez...one more nail in that tire and you'll have to replace it.

hahahahahaha, too funny!

our tires are tpms equipped. tpms = tire pressure monitoring system

each tire has a tps and when a tire it low then the light will blink and annoy the hell outta you

I feel your pain, I just put my winter tires on and got a nail in the left front tire.
I have less than 2000 miles on the Blizzaks.
