hey guys, does anyone know any shop around No.VA that does tire patch on 19" tires, i just got a screw nail in my rear tire. I tried unscrewing it but air leaks out. 19X10.5 w/ 285/35 thanks

 

Where is the screw located? (What part of the tire).
Might not be fixable if close to the sidewall.

 

Why not just get it plugged at a gas station?

 

middle part

 

just plug it

 

is it effective as getting it patched? i do alot of highway driving i dont want it to blow by surprise
does the tire have to be unmounted? sorry ive never done it always patch stock tires

 

OMG it's fine.. lol... It's not like you're running 60psi on your tires. Patching is such a hassle. You'll have to find a good tire shop to remove those low profile tire, patch from the inside and end up paying a butt load of money to get it mounted again. And you still have to fear the shop might scratch your rim when mounting the tire. Just plug it!!!

PS: For your information, I plugged my tires multiple times and I drive on the highway with my 350z everyday.

 

ok, any gas station will do this, any idea how much? thanks guys

 

$5 for plug.

$25-30 for a patch. (I would only take it to a custom wheel/tire shop for this. I used to work at Pep Boys and I know how they would treat your rims)

Also balancing is not really need since it's a rear tire.

 

I'd stay away from plugs, unless you plan on replacing the tires soon.

I have had plugs in the past and they did leak after being in for a while.

Also use a good shop and inspect the wheel before you leave.
