Desperate Need Of Help!!!

So I was driving today and I ran over a nail. My tire popped. My little brother is brining one of those repair kits but I am going to need to change the tire out ASAP the dealership is quoting me 140 for the tire not including labor. Does anyone have Pirelli p6 the stock tires available and willing to help me out with the price. I dont want to pay 140 anyone in Southern Cali well Orange county if possible. Let me know guys thank you so much!!

how bad is it? is the tire ripped to shreads? if its just a nail pop, you can take it to most garages and have it pluged. or you can use a can of 'fix a flat'. i have used it on my cavy's steelies and it worked great.

good luck

Yeah, just put a plug in it yourself. I ran for about 12k miles with a plug in, so they are safe.

Two of the three SS's i saw at the local "its totaled but will look new when im done place" had the spares on them. I kinda doubt if the tow truck guy did that. Be careful!

back when I had my 18"s I had the back left tire plugged for a long time. It never caused any problems, but I did change that tire out when I drove to Myrtle Beach. I trusted the tire driving around town and such, but I didn't trust a plugged tire on a 400 mile trip at speeds between 70mph-80mph for extended periods of time.

Tire rack is $98.00 shipped to your front door. I know I lost my right front to a pot hole 2 months ago so this is a recent price from them.

haha Les Schwab FTW! They actually repaired one of my tires i didnt even buy from them, for free. They have a decent selection too, and you can pay in payments.
