Quoting: Simple27 Most tire shops won't allow you to change just one. At a minimum you should replace 2. Unless your car is all wheel drive then you have to replace all 4. It can actually lead to mechanical failure if you only replace one due to minor size differences and a few other things. I do find it hard to believe that they cannot simply put a 'plug' in your current tire if it's only a nail. If there's a gash or hole on the sidewall I understand, but if the hole is on the tread portion of the tire there should be no problems with using a plug. That's assuming the tire itself is not worn out. Personally I'd take it to another shop if they're telling you to replace a tire due to a nail puncture and that they're willing to only sell you one tire. That sounds like a shady mechanic that either don't know shit or assumes you don't and is trying to fleece you out of 300+ dollars.

Tire doom averted. No leak detected so the nail stays in! Quoting: Simple27 I fill my Tyres up with nitrogen :) Quoting: Col. Mattie. Nitrogen is superior to regular atmospheric air that consists of mostly nitrogen, but obviously includes oxygen among other gases. The reason it is better is because the nitrogen molecules are larger than the pores that exist in tires and cause them to leak slowly even with no punctures. It also is not effected by temperature as much as 'regular' air filled tires. Since all tires leak and temperature changes throughout the season, you should check tire psi frequently to avoid running under-inflated tires which lead to increase wear of the tires and various other components but can also be a safety issue. All that said, if you consistently check your tire pressures there is no advantage of using nitrogen since you're not allowing your tires to leak down over time. If you do have nitrogen in your tires and need to add air do not be concerned if you have to use 'regular' air to fill the tire. It will not cause any issues and you won't have to go out of your way to get back to shop that has the nitrogen filling equipment.

Quoting: Sol Neman I was at the Toyota dealership getting an inspection sticker when they noticed it. The potential problem and reason they couldn't just patch/plug it is because it wasn't on the tread. It was closer to the outer part (towards the street) of the tire. I forget what they called that part of the tire. When my jaw dropped at the price for the one tire they said it was because it's a 19" tire. I've only had this car for a year and a half. Tires are all in great condition...aside from the nail. But they checked to see if it was leaking and it wasn't (phew!) and the sensor light inside my car wasn't on which was a good sign but they still wanted to check for a leak. : ) ~*Ride the Wave*~ |

I agree on tire prices, basically any tire that has a wheel size larger than 16" are quite expensive (I don't know why, they have less rubber than a tire that uses a smaller wheel...but they know they can command high price and people will pay) I still don't agree with their assessment to change just one.

They did leave it in there since it wasn't leaking. It also looks like a small nail based on the head of the nail. So hopefully it will be okay.

Not that I've had to have tires replaced often. Maybe twice since I've been driving, but I've never even heard of anyone else paying that much. ~*Ride the Wave*~ |

Quoting: scapegoat. The tires that go on Simple's car you most likely wouldn't be able to retread. I've only seen industrial/agriculture tires (in some cases larger mud/off-road tires) get a retread. The tires on Simple's car would be low profile and very difficult if not impossible to retread. What do you mean by 'mashing?'
