So I looked at my treads today...

aznshrek88 · 06-14-2008, 01:46 PM

And as I was looking around the car; I noticed a nail like thing in one of my rear wheels. I've been driving around for at least 100 plus miles and its been fine. I'm just a little worried since I will be driving home soon, about 300 miles or so. Should I get it pulled out and repaired? And how much will a patch cost? Its not in the sidewall so I'm pretty sure it can be patched. Just thought I'd ask a little advice from the gurus, thanks!

patch service is free at tire pros, even if you didnt get the tire from them!

they probably won't patch run flats. You'll have to find a shop that will

ive patched rft's before, according to the guy at the tireshop, its the same thing as a non-rft, just take a bit more work, but its perfectly doable
