Well, okay.
I was like you see. JDM TYTE YO drifting in this you know empty parking lot you see and then BOOM. my tire just went. You think i'm just too leet for drifting or what?
Okay, now since your IQs dropped 5 fold and so have mine, here's the real problem.
Tonight after work, my girl takes me in her car to carls Jr, come back to work and park next to my car. I noticed that my back-left tire seemed, low, but I figured it was bad lighting or a wierd shadow.
Eat in her car, finish up, and actually check out the car. The tire is kind of flat. Upon closer inspection, I see a nice nail perfectly dug straight into my tire. *sigh*
Hit up the closest gas station, re-inflate and hope for the best that it stays inflated as much as possible until later today.
Going to hit up Sears for hopefully just one new tire since I don't have that much extra cash for all new 4, alignmnet and what not.
Noo.. my tire!!

3 Hours later:
Still inflated properly, but it's very unnerving seeing that nail in there.Anything can go wrong. Tire randomly popping going 80mph on the 405 on any car is not nice.
If I pull that nail out, the tire could probably deflate in minutes. I wonder if I should try to at least seal the nail in with sealent, glue, whatever. haha.

Why don't you just get one of those tire repair kits that cost like $5? That should definately keep you safe until you replace it.

I know discount tire will do it for like 5 bucks. They dismount the tire and put one of those plug patch thingies on it. Lasted me like another year before I got those Nitto's.Red coupe wrote:Most tire places do free tire repairs from my experience...

OLD - But it's been taken care off. Sears did it for 20 bucks. Whatever, they did it, did a good job. I'm happy. :P
