Ok...so...
I know this thread is useless w/o detailed pictures of the situation - but bare with me im at work and later tonite ill try to add one...

I have a nail in one of my toyos...
Its not directly in the thread but its not square on the sidewall either...
best way to explain without a picture is that its pretty much in the tire right on the curve where it goes from the sidewall to the threads...

the pic below kinda shows where the nail/screw is located

it doesnt seem like a big screw - i havent pulled it out tho yet

just wondering what you all think I should do...??
im a noob when it comes to these performance/expensive tires lol


thanks in advance everyone!

 

take it to discount tire and they'll tell you if it is repairable or if it needs to be replaced. good luck.

 

yea im gonna take it to this place around by me that has patched/plugged tires for me in the past (cheap tires ofcourse)
guess i'll see what they say

my rims need some work anyway i think they've bent a bit and i got some curb rash i wanna get fixed up so whatever im sure those guys at the place i usually go to cant mess my rims up any worse than i've already done myself lol

 

i had one go thru almost the same place with a 3 inch nail...it went in and then out...Fortuantely for me, the nail did not puncture the sidewall, just the rubber so Discount Tire just pulled it out and then said that I was ok

 

damn - i need a discount tire in brooklyn!

 

Nooch, unless the screw is in the tread, you're basically screwed. Don't think anyone will patch a tire on the sidewall. Looks like you bought 2 new tires!

 

lol yea thats what i was figuring

but its in such a weird spot - not really sidewall but not fully thread...i dunno and it looks small as **** - i guess ill just take it to the shop...
thanks for brightening my day! lol

ill snap a picture after work and school tonite
later

 

It's too bad you don't have a Mr. Tire in your state.
