nail in tire...

Yah just patch it. It used to do it, there are different size patches so they should be able to do it. I think if it was any closer you'd be effed tho

if anythimg i will take it to a shop after pulling the nail out.

it's not hard to do. they sell kits for like $7 at autoparts stores. worst that can happen is air will leak slowly. the radial is already cut, even if you patch it from the inside out you've already lost speed rating.

i agree. as long as you are not tracking it, just plug it. I would keep a small compressor and a plug kit in the car.

If you want take it to a shop to have that patched from the inside out. Make sure the shop has touchless tire mounter.

/\ This!

Make SURE it's a touchless mounting machine, lest ye be posting your wheel damage woes!

seems the stleaership will do it for 15.00 so I will team this up with an oil change tonight or in the am tomorrow.

Beware the stealership tooooooooo! They damaged my wheel removing it from the tire.

seems like someone is trying to kill me!

there was nail in the other front tire also. the tech said no need to patch since its not leaking.
