Default Nail + Yokohama = new tire :(((

This was a bit out of the unexpected. I was driving down to olvera street for some mexican food when i stepped out of the car and noticed hissing coming from the rear of the car! Lo and behold what i found:





Interesting huh? The screw somehow came in through the bottom of the tire and went out the sidewall, at a 45 degree angle! Do you guys think this is fixable?

Looks like you will need a new tire. That cannot be safely repaired.

I work for discount tire and can tell you that tire is no good. Any punctures in the sidewall are non-repairable. Hope you got road hazard certs. G/L

At least the screw didn't puncture your rim. Seen that happen before

Haha, ya you bastard I suppose it's about time the tires needed to be changed. It's kinda funny, cus if the fronts had been punctured, i would have still had a warranty, i believe. The rear's however, came with my rims and weren't covered by any means.
