9 nails in my two week old tires

Well today I got 9 of these bastards in my brand new tires......they are too close to the sidewallls so the can't be repaired *insert pissed off emoji here*

 

that sucks and not in a good way

 

Where did this happen?

 

That sucks, hope you got warranties on the tires

 

Plug them. You'll be fine

 

Weeeeelllllll I am a sophomore and my school doesn't have enough parking permits so little old me thought "hey there is a desert right next to it......AND I have a 4wd truck" so I have been parking there for a week or two and apparently someone wanted to get rid of so huge ass nails. Just in case you didn't know 3 inch nails do not mix well with 900 dollar tires.

 

Agreed. As long as none are in sidewall you can plug em. Sidewall nail will require tire to be unmounted and a patch put on the inside.

 

I would plug that its not on the sidewall of the tire, ive done successful plugs at this same position

 

nah you can plug that, ive done tons of plug/patch jobs on mine and my friends tires that close to the sidewall.

 

Yeah I give that a try...I just hate the look of plugs...but better then shelling out $900 for another set

 

Won't be too noticeable. After you plug it, use side cutters to cut the excess. And ya I'd rock 20 plugs before dumping cash on another set haha

 

more importantly, "WHY" did this happen?!

 

Take it to a tire place, have them patch or plug. Good to go.

 

Oh.
Oops.

Good luck OP.

 

Most dealerships and tire companies around here will not patch anything within a inch of the sidewall.

 

They be more then happy to sell him a brand new tire me guesses.

 

Mom and pops are the best for this!

 

The LOOK of plugs?! You got a tire fetish we arent aware of?

 

Fix-a-Flat!!

Not really.

 

9 nails? Someone doesn't like you!
