Tyre trouble......

[anfz]

Hey guys just washed my car today and found a fkn screw stuck right into my tyre ,now I took it out a bit to see if it was pierced and was letting air out ,in which case it was ,now whats my best option I really am cash strapped atm and buying a whole brand new tyre or more is outta the question and it wouldnt match my other 3 as they are a brand or model you cant buy no more ,what other options do i have ? I have heard of some pump that seals up the hole but not to sure at its effectiveness any ideas ? thanks guys

take it to a tyre store dude, they'll repair it for you. Shouldnt be more the $15. Dont drive on it flat cos the rim will eat away at the inner bead...chuck the spare on and head to the tyre store. 10 minute job.

take it 2 the local tyre shop, they put this thing that looks like dog chews into the tyres to plug up the hole.

if u find nails in your tyres, u shouldnt take them out or you'd lose air, just take it to the tyre shop and the'll plug it up for u for about $5-$10

if your tyres are more like slashed. u might be in for a new tyre, or check it out either way, they might be able to patch it up from the inside.

local tyre shop sould be easily able to fix it for you man make sure they use a good plug (inner) cannot remember the name but seals from the inside. should cost much either less the $15

im still driving my wheels with the lil nail inside...2 week now. its not a long nail but it does look air if i take it out. any problems if i keep it like this??

the reason im not fixing it is cause im changing tyres in a week time.

take it to a tyre place
they will see if its actually puntured
if not theyll yank it out and will b fine

ps. i drove over some broken glass last nite....too dark couldnt see, had to stop and scrap the glass off my front tyres..lucky no puncture...just not my day

thanks guys fixed mine up today cost $15 as you mentioned.there shouldnt be any problems should there like a leak or anything ?

nah if its done properly it should be all sweet... i ran over a nail not too long ago aswell i pulled that out and couldnt put it back in so my tyre went flat.. got them to fix it up for 10 bucks i think and its still nice and fine even after some spirited driving
