Is this tire repairable?
3 Attachment(s)
This just happened a few hours ago. Seems like a somewhat thick piece of sheet metal about an inch long and maybe 1/5th or 6th thick impaled my rear right tire some how.
While I was changing into the spare, another 370z pulled over beside me to check and see if I needed any help. Not sure if he is a member here or not, but it was very nice of him. Is this repairable? Im going to a tire shop tomorrow, but would like to have an idea of what I should expect. |
I believe that tire is toast, bro. Not sure I would want to risk my life riding on that even if someone were able to "fix" it.
|
Yeah, I figured...
|
I doubt it... Sorry it died with that much tread...
But sweet that another 370Z guy checked in to see if you needed anything |
Invest in road hazard warranty. It's well worth it
|

For future reference and so there is never any confusion, this is the industry repair standard for all light vehicles tires:
http://www.rma.org/wp-content/upload...lchart1111.pdf As stated by the parameters, no tire may be repaired beyond the following limit: PUNCTURE INJURY LIMIT* 1/4” (6mm) No reputable tire shop would repair that tire. I would definitely look into a shop that includes road hazard as part of your purchase price |
No way!
|
at least it was the Oil pan, that caught it.

So I bought a brand new tire of the same brand and everything and was able to buy road hazard warranty for all 4 tires.
Is there anything bad about running the rear with different tread depths on each side? here is how it looked on the inside... |
