Sorry but I had to tell some one, I have a nail stuck in my tire My life officialy sucks. Im going to the tire place 2moro morning to see if they coudl either patch it or w/e

 

If it isn't in the sidewall don't worry. Patching will be a piece of cake.

 

It is the side wall.... Right on the edge of the flat part and the side wall and its between the tread

 

ouch man---that might be just the wrong spot to fix it- what tires?? eeeek-
at least you didnt get a call- hey justin can you come help me change my tire, i ran over a nail....get down there to see an 8" x 3/8" railroad spike burried in the tire..." well can we patch it? uhhh, no." take it all in stride- crap happens- its life.

I got my first flat tire ever owning this truck. An 1/8" or so long slit in the sidewall on the inside.

 

Your life sucks because you got a nail in the tire? Learn to patch your own tires and make your life a little easier. It takes all of 2 minutes and is done w/ the tire on the car.

Install patch cord w/ glue on install tool, Remove Nail with pliers, insert reamer, twist a couple of times and remove, quickly insert patch and remove tool leaving the patch in the tire, cut the excess cord w/ a sharp razor, drive to an air pump and fill up the tire to the correct PSI.

 

I just got one the other day too but mine is about 2 in long screw that goes from the top of my tread to the inside of the tire dont know how that one happend

 

I have always heard that type of plug will cause the tire to separate over time by letting air get between the different layers of belts and so on....it may be BS but I ALWAYS get mine patched from the inside.

 

most tire shops won't patch it if its anywhere near the sidewall. I wouldn't either....trust my truck to a patch? no sir

 

You guys should try living on gravel roads, I get some sort of object stuck in my tire atleast once every 2 weeks. Since i put my stockers back on I have had 3 nails in the past week and a half. It's not the end of the world, it's just a flat tire. Plug it or get it patched or in you case you may need a new tire.

 

I've been plugging street tires like that for 20 years and I've never had one come apart and I don't recall one ever losing air. A patch is always a safer bet but it also takes a lot more time and I've never had one patched as a result. If I roadraced the tire then there is no way I would run it with a plug or a patch, that is a different story.

 

On the side wall you will need a new tire. But if you get one in the tread get a plug kit (less then $10) and do it your self. 90% of the time the tire doesnt even have to come off the truck.

 

I've used those patches forever and never had a prob. I got a road spike in one of mine and it still patched it. But since then I have bought new rims and tires. I got some toyo proxies and man I love those tires.
