I get a nail in a 312 mile MPSC!! I have a new one coming from TR tomorrow.

 

I hear ya...here's mine..at least we both had them with new tires so we only had to replace one...

 

Ouch.

 

here's the best part..inside the tire...

 

thats nothing, I remember the day i was selling my GT3 I got a blow out and there was a 2 inch hole in the tire!!!!!!!! dont ask what it was, because we never found anything but the hole it left......

 

yeah i hate that. happened with one of my rear corsas. had to replace both rears 'cos i was about halfway thru. got one spare tire out of it.

 

Oh bugger man... You are the LAST person that needs to happen to;( Looks like some kind of roofing stuff?

 

Ya it sucks, but I don't think I will count it towards my 3100 mile per rear set average!! Actual since Tony has preformed his magical alignment I got over 4K out of the last set. So its like Im getting a free set every 12K

 

Yikes! That looks as if it could have disatrous, especially here on the coast roads! I now feel blessed.

 

I sympathize with you guys. I have been lucky so far....

 

Forgive me if I am being ignorant but from the pictures the hole does not seem that big. Can that not be plugged or patched from the inside?

 

No thank you. I think I am worth more to my family than the $560.73 it cost me for the new tire!! But than maybe I have a high opinion of myself!

 

i tried to have mines fixed (similar to snowboarder's location of the nail) as i wanted to just use it for street use. brought it to Wheel works and Big O. no one would touch it. it didn't help that the tire had obvious signs that they were being tracked.

 

I noticed a lot of the tire shops are not too enthusiastic about repairing tires due to a combination of potential liability problems and the fact that they make more money by selling you a new tire. I get nails, screws, and staples too often among the 5 cars that we have and these days I just fix it myself with a kit I bought at Pep Boys. Usually takes a few minutes and it is pretty easy to do. Now, I imagine for track use you would not want to do this, but for street use I feel okay about the repairs.
