i got a screw on my tire last night. was thinking of pulling it out last night and kinda did but i started hearing hissing sounds so i pushed it back in. idk how long till my tire is totaly flat.
ok to the real subject is this is my first flat and idk wat i should do and im wondering how much is it gonna be to replace my old tire? need help

 

go to goodyear or any tire place and have them patch it

 

how much do u think itll cost?

 

usually, $20.

The place i bought my tires from gives me free flat repairs for the life of the tires.

 

really i thought it would cost more cuz they have to take the tires out and patch it then put it back on the car

 

i work at a tire shop and to patch a tire its like 20 bucks, a few dollers more if you want a new valve steam and rebalince

 

oh ok so do u think i should just get a new one or just let them patch the tire?

 

if the hole is to close to the side wall then youll need a new tire if the tire is still good then just have them patch it. did you drive on the tire while it was low check your side wall condition if you have a dark line about 1/5 inch wide around your side wall you may have internal damage on the tire do to not having enough air pressure so if the tire is fine and just has a nail in it just have them patch it

 

ive been driving on it for the last 15 minutes on my way home, the tire seems way more flat than the other side. and wen i got to my car i got a ticket the cop was still there and saw me going to my car that ***.

 

do u think i should put some air till can go someplace to patch it bcuz i cant do nething till 7 at night here in hawaii cuz i got basketball practice tomorrow

 

i usually have mine plugged, they just stick a plug in the hole and it's like $5. no need to remove tire or anything.

True, i've got one right on the shoulder and they're bloody new tyres! Can't be repaired so i have to re-inflate the sodding thing every other day. You can actually hear it leaking all the time, and when i washed it today my tyre was blowing huge bubbles at me!

 

yea same thing happened to me, when i was comming home from sa and realized that i had a little nail stuck on the shoulder as well. took it to the shop and they pointed out to me that there was a 6inch nail in my tire and had rubbed all over the side wall since my tires where 205 40 17's.

 

...i just got new tires ... rayingitdoesnthappentome:

just get it patch ...real easy to do your self

 

if old tires dont bother spending $20 to patch it..i patched my tires at least five times..

 

yea get some air in it befor you start driving around if you drive on a very low or flat tire the inside side wall will start to get damaged to the point where its no good

 

Just take it to the gas station. If the tire can safely be patched it will cost like $10. I've had a couple nail punctures in my tires over the years, each time costing me a grand total of $10.

The real thing is, people should be more responsible with their nails and screws.

 

ive had places patch my car for free, or like $5-10...its no biggie

 

thanx guys i just remembered my long time friend's dad is a mechanic so i just asked him to patch the tire up.

Just like your GF, stick it in-twist it- wait for it to happen-take it out.
