Flush Stance + Nail In Tire Side Wall = Sadness....

[keychain]

I haven't driven my car for a couple days and I took it out to get some gas and on the way home I hit a nail... Since it hit the sidewall of the tire, the nail started scraping up on the rear fender... Sorry for the cell phone pics. Is there anyway I can save the tire? It's a brand new tire with only a couple thousand mile on it. I know it's not safe to roll on a patched tire, especially if it's on the side wall. I was planning on buying a new tire and placing this tire on my spare rim so I can have a full size spare.

sucks bout the nail man. I hit a piece of tire yesterday on the road that a car in front of me ran over and shot @ me.

Sucks man but most tire shops wont even try patch a tire if the damage is on the sidewall..

Thanks everyone. Yea looks like I just have to buy a new tire. Hopefully source one this weekend and get my car back up and running.

[JawDropper]

Yeah def safer to just replace it.

[Kielan]

I hit a bungee cord and it whipped around scratching the hell out of the side of my car then flattened the tire sucks...

Ive patched side wall before... I would never do it to anyone elses car just because of the liability but if its just for a spare... I'd patch it and use it.

Sucks man. I wouldn't feel safe driving on it if the side wall was patched though. It could lose air on the freeway and your car could end up like that amazing xB.
