Well, I've now had the car for about 3 weeks. I've already got a nail in the tire which is now losing 2 psi per day. I'm wondering if there is any way I can get this fixed, patched, or otherwise being so close to the sidewall. I have 900 miles on these tires, they are brand brand new, and no hazard warranty from the dealership on them (they didn't offer for just the tires). They are sized 275-35-19 Toyo Proxes T1R, I'd gladly spend 50-75 bucks to get it fixed. It's much better than the near 300 it would take to replace.

 

Looks like you need to replace the tire bro. Sidewalls and nails ar not good for plugging or patching.

 

damn that sucks bro, I had a nail in a similar place, and they refused to fix it. Befor I spent the 300 for a new tire, I pulled the nail out, and it didnt leak, the nail didnt go all the way through, but looks like yours goes straight it, and you are loosing pressure. The problem with the sidewall is that it can be hit easily, and bends when you take a turn, call around you might be able to find a place that fixes them.

 

Well I headed down to Big-O yesterday and bought 3 year certificates on my 3 remaining tires. 37 for the back tire, 31 each for the front tires. I'm still left with replacing the rear tire, though. Big-O wants ~350 bucks for a new rear tire installed with certificate, the dealership wants 295 for the same. I'm reluctant to have 3 tires warranty with one place and the fourth with another, but 50 bucks is 50 bucks. Anyone know where I might be able to find this tire for a better deal? (I could still get the certificate at big O for it if I found a good enough deal).

The tire is a 275-35-19 Toyo Proxes T1R

 

i feel your pain bro...
same thing happened to me last week.
same tire and everything except mine is 285/35/19.
i still haven't replaced it tho.

 

3 outa 4 people that replied called u bro...hahah...

but yea...it is worth replacing before a disaster happens...

 

replace it yo

 

I replaced it. 275 at the dealer w/o warranty, then I took it down to Big-O to get the same 3 year that I have on the other tires. I'm now all patched up and have certificates so it wont happen again, just 400 something less rich

And to everyone reading this, if you don't have road hazard on your tires... get it!
