I got ANOTHER nail tonight in my tire.... at walmarts!!!

I swear a few irresponsible people ruin it for the rest of us.

Nail Count so far : 8
in 6 months....

two of which destroyed the metal lining of the tread... resulting in two brand new matching tires for $100 bucks a pop.

I swear my yaris is a nail-magnet.

I noticed one today but it must have been there for about 2 months with a slow leak since it was the only one I really had to fill. I'm going to plug it tomorrow. I'm use to big 33" tires that can take nails and not worry about them, so I had to adjust to samll tires again and take more notice

Can it be fixed? Take it to a America's Tire Co. and they can fix it for free, if they can't, then they will put your spare on.

I've never heard of that company before.... I normally take it to goodyear... i always feel like they are ripping me off though.

YAR1S · 12-15-2008, 11:45 PM

I'll probably get it plugged. Its not in between the tread... and its not on the side.... so I think its good.

I went through 2 months and 3 roofing nails.... in my own neighbourhood....guess what, my neighbour's roof was being re-done...thanks neighbour.... some people are true idiots.

Hmmm there is one pretty close to me, lol thanks.

pixiedixie862 · 12-16-2008, 12:37 AM

No prob. Now Goodyear wont have to rip you off cause you can get it done for free. :)

YAR1S · 12-16-2008, 01:21 AM

:D

YAR1S · 12-16-2008, 01:21 AM

wait a min ... they plug it for free? or take the nail out and call it fixed??? i dont get how its free... wheres the money in that?

pixiedixie862 · 12-16-2008, 01:54 AM

yes, they fix it for free. Obviously only if it repairable, if it isn't then they will just put on your spare. They don't charge you anything. I think the whole point is to make sure the customer is satisfied, if you like them, then most likely you'll come back to them for all your tire needs.

YAR1S · 12-16-2008, 01:58 AM

oh ... :/

YAR1S · 12-16-2008, 01:58 AM

well thanks again.

pixiedixie862 · 12-16-2008, 02:08 AM

and by repairing it, i actually mean taking out the nail and plugging it for you. :)

Yes they do. And they clean all your wheels for you and put tire shine on them as well. Well, at least the one near my house does. :)
