Carstyle Neutral Newbie April 4, 2006 Share April 4, 2006 Dear all, Have got a 4" nail stuck in the back tyre of the driver's side. Went to Stamford tyres hoping to get it mend, however, the nail is stuck at the wall. The guy advised that it could not be mended and we need to change our tyres... They removed the nail and sort of like put a stopper. Pump the pressure of the tyres up, in hope that it could last till tomorrow to go back C&C to change new tyres... Thread life still left 90%.. heart pain.... Is there really no way to mend it? understand that it is safer to change a pair instead of just changing the affected tyres. Is it true? Appreciate precious advise from bros and sis.. Thank you. The general advice is that if the puncture is on the sidewall, safer to replace the tyre. But my logic is that it's very difficult for nails to pierce the sidewall under normal driving conditions, maybe at the edge between thread and sidewall. When I was using "branded" tyres, I used to get a few nails in my tyres once in a while. Once I had a nail the very next day after changing to new tyres. Then I changed to "taxi" Maxxis, no nails, nothing. Now I'm using "cheapo" OEM tyres, no nails yet for the past 3 months. Maybe it's just my luck.

Atlantis_boi Clutched April 4, 2006 Share April 4, 2006 Suggested that.. but cause going for 10K servicing soon, and this rotation will be included then.. if do now, must pay that extra... hubby advised that even if change, no point rotate now and pay that extra. Cause when servicing comes, I also need to pay for it... When u go 4 servicing, can have the option of not rotating & save the $$ rite? Anw, if u r nt a racer or chiongster but a law abiding driver, juz change off the damaged tire will do. Alternatively, if u wan 2 change both with budget, can go to pxx xxxg & get those almost new OEM tires. These tires r v.new cos some pple after collecting their cars, drive straight to tyre shop to change sports rims. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
