Hey guys. Just noticed my rear passenger tire is totally deflated. So, I've read in the manual that the spare is only good for the front. And it suggests that u gotta put the front tire on the rear and the spare on the front. How safe is it to drive like this?

Also, I won't b able to get new tires for a few days since shipping will take that long.

You could take the deflated tire to a gas station or something to have them plug/patch it.. Unless you ran over a nail or something and it's on the sidewall. I'd rather use a plugged/patched tire over 1 front tire in the rear and a spare n the front. That'll at least hold you over for a few days.

I went to the 76 station and they said they couldn't do work on my rear tire =(

So now I'm wondering where's the place I can take it. Maybe Auto Innovations?

If you just need it to hold you for a few days, use a plug from your local auto parts store.

A patch will last the life of the tire if done correctly. Take it to a tire shop, not your corner mechanic.

Okay I've done the tire exchange. I'm all sweaty =P

On the sidewally, I saw a small cut on the side =(

So now I gotta wait for payday and get those new tires.

I have a slow leak on my passenger rear too. I just fill it up once a day. Not decided if I just wanna get new rear tires, or replace the wheels altogether

lol i was also deciding of i should get new wheels, but my indecisiveness has won out thus just replacing the rears haha
