Worried bout my truck....

The dumbgen never fails to entertain

 

Haha what?

 

I highly recommend a some tire plugs, tools, and a small compressor to air up. I have them in all of my vehicles and they've saved my butt several times. It is a lot easer, safer, and faster to plug a hole with the tire on the vehicle than change to the spare. Even if it is just enough to get you to a tire store.

In 2011 I was driving ~75 MPH on an interstate when my TPMS warning light came on. I stopped ASAP to find my right rear flat. I put 3-4 plugs in a rather large hole and made it to the next exit after airing up the tire. We were travelling, it was almost dark on a Sunday and raining so we got a room at the exit. On Monday I drove to the closest tire store who told me the tire couldn't be saved. But I let them put my spare on and I drove the 600 miles home that day. Bought 4 new tires next payday. I was close to needing them anyway.

 

I blew one out on a trailer doing 60 hauling a tractor. My wife ask what you gonna do? I said I’m unloading the tractor and changing it. Did. Came home.

 

Sometimes you just got to do what a mans got to do. I don’t get why it’s so hard to change a spare and I’m too cheap to pay someone to do something I can do

 

We're not there yet....not yet...

 

Few people know less about the vehicle than the guy tryin to sell it to you.

 

5.....4.......3.....

 

Wanna be?! We can make it disappear! Just like Hoffa!

 

This ones headed there faster than the air coming out of OP’s tire.

 

Don’t need it. Man up. Use brute strength and teeth.

 

See edit!

 

Put the spare on and take to your Toyota dealer for an inspection since you heard a loud clunk just as a safety precaution. You can do a preliminary inspection while changing the tire but if you're not sure what you're looking at or for have the dealer take a look. Since its a new truck and you're a new customer hopefully they will do it as a courtesy.
Best of luck.

 

You, my friend, are correct.

 

I was taught how to do it before I even knew how to drive. That's how it should be. Best time I had a flat was last year pulling into my garage. I get out, hear a hissing sound, walk over to the RF tire slowly deflating. I walk inside, grab a beer, go back out and change it, then take it to the tire place the next day to get a plug. Pissed me off though because it was only a one beer job.

 

Let's not rush the good things in life

 

But isnt life about mystery!?!

 

A man should know how to do the simple things in life
