buy a new one, it looks like you need to repalce the tire anyways

I know same thing i said...HUGE a$$ nail.
No i did not drive through any constructions sites recently.

Strange, ah well.

If i buy a new one for this side, then should also replace the other rear tire as well? for even balance ? etc

ok that in CAN is not bad at all....
u got me scared there for a sec man...
thought that was 400 for ONE tire rear.

450-500 CAN sounds about right to outfit two rear tires in OEM setup of 245/40/19.

Come on man, I just got the car, don't scare me like that so fast

umm.....so was I :|
hahhaha
i think we got mixed up here...or was it just me :|

ah well....seeing that the prices u were quoting were from tirerack.com, then those are US prices. Then again the canadian dollar is not too far off.

So it should be close.

Exactly !!!! you should not just put a plug in that unless you are trying to injure someone. They have to remove the tire and put a patch on the inside to do it properly.

Yeah, I will request that tomorrow and nothing less.
Have to see what the dealer and tire shop will say about the tire's tread life first.
