Screw in my tire...

OhNiner · 10-13-2002, 01:57 AM

I have a screw in one of my run flats and I am stuck on what to do. I only have about 19,000 miles on them and they have plenty of tread left. Here is my problem, I was thinking about going with non-run flats next summer but now it looks like I will need to buy one tire. The screw is on the edge of the tread and I don't think they will patch it. I don't know if I should just buy one run flat or get all 4 non-run flats.

Your're probably cute and dance real good, but no thanks. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I've got a nail in the right rear Goodyear. It loses less than a pound a day, but it's definitely leaking. Instead of paying someone else to fix it, I'll plug it with the kit I bought in preparation for installing nonrunflats. I've got 19,000 miles on the tires. Why not try to get yours fixed first. Much cheaper than a new tire.

Try a plug first then if it doesn't work then buy a tire. I keep a plugger kit in my car just in case something like that happens.

I had a screw in my RF & RR tires. I had them patched.

Just got back from the Good Year store and they were able to patch it! It was just far enough from the sidewall that it was patchable. :)

When I got a screw in the middle of one of my run rocks I put a plug in it from a kit I got from WallyMart. Didn't even have to jack up the car. ;) It held air no problem. Car traded and runrocks are gone for ever.
Wouldn't want to use the EMT's ever again. :seeya
