Well, I'm Screwed!

[Jimrpa]

Looks like I got a little parting gift on my weekend trip to New Jersey ? I plan on stopping by the tire store tomorrow morning to see if they can just remove it and repair the tire. I'd rather not buy new tires, since I just bought new tires!

Fortunately that should be in an area that can be patched. You might have to pump it up before you drive there, hopefully it's not leaking too fast.

At Discount Tire with Road Hazard, that's an worry free scenario.

I must sound like a commercial.

I purchased the replacement tires from my dealer. I'd head to the dealer, but the tire store is closer, just in case.

I had an almost identical puncture a few weeks ago. Here's how it went:

Hope that works but my dealer wouldn't plug any tire. Tire stores will

They may patch them at a dealer... At least one I went to locally will. They won't plug tires though. Neither will Discount Tire. It's not considered a full/proper repair.

Interesting, my dealer said no way as I had a flat right as I was passing my dealer.

my local tire shop plugs them all the time, I didn’t think of patching it though, Which is different.

Yeah I suppose it depends on the place.

When I had a screw puncture in my tire, the dealer said it was too close to the edge for a patch so I had to replace the tire.

I first went to Discount Tire (it's much closer to me and I trust them a lot more). Discount wouldn't patch or plug it, either, and unfortunately, they didn't sell the OEM Michelin tires for this vehicle. (This was a year or two ago, maybe they do have them now.)

I buy all my tires from discount tire. Even without road hazard warranty, they patch tires for free.

Illegal to patch/plug the side wall up here. Ok to patch the tread. Who knows may not have punctured right through; pull it out and see

Is that a cut on the sidewall?

Yikes, the Dealer would not be my first choice for tire replacement.
