ive been on a hot streak of bad luck since oct 2002
2 nights ago my car gets broken into
last night this happens:

thats a 10mm bolt in there. those tires have 400 miles on them

 

Bring that to a tire shop and they may be able to fix it. It depends on how big the hole is. Good luck man

Oh and if it can be fixed, I would move it to the back of the car

 

That looks entirely fixable and you should be able to get it done for roughly $20

The nails they can't fix is where the nail is at the edge of the tire near the sidewall, because then they can't guarantee structural integrity.

I live near an industrial area so I pick up a lot of nails in my tires

 

i'd say that its a sign that you should have gone with a different set of tires.

 

tire rack is sending me a new tire for %50 off however they are backordered untill the end of may. these are directional tires so id rather not have to keep one in the back all the time and screw w/ my rotation. im throwing the stock steelies back on untill my tire comes.

heres the bad luck time line:
oct 02 hatch dies dump in 700 figure out wtf is going on, turns out the dizzy is fuct
oct 02 i warp my diaphram on my pressure plate. i get 13% throttle before it starts to slip

GOD DAMN thats a bigass bolt....sorry bout your luck bro, i dont think i can send you any good luck though, im having bad luck myself, my TL-S is hit and that dude doesn't have any insurance and now i have to sue his *** cuz he wont payup and my CRX recently died out, MPFI swap not going good, so im guessing i have bad luck too.....one day you'll get better....agp btw, i think you should get a new tire...that looks really crazy even if they fix it....better safe than sorry bro

 

it looks like a bullet. but at least it was only one tire? i will pass some luck of the irish ur way

like a .50 cal

edit: its actualy a 13mm (i put a wrench on it) so its 1/2" since normal people dont use the metric system

 

damn that sucks for you. althought my luck could be better as well.

 

damn dude, that's a big bolt to be stuck in a tire. i'll try and send some luck your way. maybe EF's aren't for you?, lol.

 

Ouch....get a different car.....

 

i forgot to mention i got hit by 3 huge *** pieces of foam that you would use for drywalling yesterday on the freeway. scuffed the hood i dunno wtf is going on.

 

damn that sucks bro...sorry to hear best of luck to you

 

sorry about all that, i really mean it. bad luck has been going around lately.
here, . one bourbon, one scotch, and one beer always does it for me.

 

if they are a good brand
if they have only about 400 miles
and u just got them
there should be a warranty on those tires....
its not ur fault u got that nail...
most shops can exchange that tire, or fix it for very cheap....
go ahead and talk to whoever sold it to ya....
GOOD LUCK..
if it doesnt work, just go and have it fixed...

 

they are yokahama es 100s. i talked to tire rack. they dont road hazzard warenty these tires but have a 50% off thing where if you **** up a tire you can replace it for half the price once and only once. its your get out of jail free card basicly.

 

I had a friend who ran over a craftsman wrench, it went through the tire and got stuck inside the rim. He had to replace the caliper and rotor.

 

wow, same happened this morning to me and my friend jon in his gsr. we heard some wierd noise and pulled over, sure enough the was a skrew deep in the tire

 

I think thats the same bolt out of my tire!!!
In the same luck boat as you!

 

the same day i put my avs's on i picked up a 3" sheetmetal screw and tire rack sold me a new tire for full retail plus shipping. they told me thats all they could, i mean couldn't do. 1/2 price is better than retail, but 1/2 price is more than not having to replace the tire.

 

DUDE!! Your one of the luckiest people I know. Why?



You survived!!! to ya
