AHHHH! I took my wheels off today because of the winter weather in PA and found a nail in my back right tire. Its not in the sidewall, but about a half inch from the inside of the tire. MY question is can this be fixed? I have 215/35/18 tires, and it seems it would be pushing it getting a plug put in. Has anyone had their tires pluged before? Also, where would I go to have it done. I really dont want to spend money on a new tire these only have 2500 on them!!

Hey Dave,

I've got the same problem too I just found a nail in one of my snow tires. I don't know if it's a blowout risk - I don't think so - but I'm keeping an eye on the pressure just in case. I would check that tire every day if you're doing a lot of driving.

get the tire patched up at any goodyear or any major tire places it around 15 bucks and the tire is brand new

Wow...sorry to hear about that Simon. I'm happy that I dont have to drive on it. In my case i think it would be a little higher risk of blow out than yours. About getting it patched...will that last the life of my tire? Or will I have to worry about it coming out in time too?

Yeah you can plug tires it is no big deal I have had a bunch over the years even one on my motorcycle one time

Get a plug that is put in the tire from the inside...it's a wide patch with a nipple that goes through the hole they glue the whole thing down and pull it through... cost about 6 bucks though the last one i had done they charged me 4

I get it done for ten dollars theres a few places in my city. I used to worry about it but its no big deal man I once got a bolt removed and my tire plugged and never could tell the difference.
