Check your tire pressure.

well i checked tire pressure, i have a nail on my back right tire.


here are the specs

FALKEN AZENIS
215/40R17 27psi on both sides FRONT
255/40R17 32 PSI back left, 21 PSI back right


the nail is where the sidewall meets the flat part of the tire, will that be patchable?

that's what i'm running with 18s.

but that was due to getting the car as low as possible with the 18x7.5 +48 offset without alignment.

i'll be switching to 225s now with the adjusted, aggressive alignment. shouldn't have a problem fitting them, although i've had no handling complaints with the 215 / 255 setup.
