I got a nail in one of my new tires
I checked my tire pressure and one rear was low. I then saw the nail between the treads on the tire. I dont think I have even had these tires on a month...
Does anyone know of a good repair shop to fix it, in the "general" Pasadena area? I dont want my new Volks messed up/scratched.
Also what is better for repair, a patch or a plug????
Thanks guys for your help

 

don't think i am crazy, maybe i am lucky. i brought my accord's flat tire to costco in van nuys, and they fixed it so well that it lasted all the way til another nail went into it like 20,000 miles later. i actually went to patch it again, but they wouldn't do it cuz the new hole was too close to the old hole. somethin about they can't patch within x amount of inches.

sucks about your tire though, michelin's right.

 

take it to an americas tire store. They are quick and really good at patching tires, they don't use cheap patches that can fail like some other tires places. But if the nail is too close to the side wall it may be unfixable.

Definitely do a patch Kev. Hit me up if you need a place to go to

 

Goto Autozone and buy the tire repair kit, cheap and easy and you could repair about 5 tires just incase for the future!

 

Cool, a patch it shall be. Thanks for the advice guys. Yeah the nail is in the center of the tire. (guess thats the only positive.)

Jay- I'll shoot you a PM. Thanks bud!

Meth- Yep my Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's... (sweeeet tires!!)

 

Do you have the road hazard warranty with that? If you got the tires from Arnel, it comes with it. You get a brand spanking new one. On a "WR" rated tires, a nail, a patch is considered unsafe.
