i dont know how long these have been there but there are a few small nails in my tires. how much will it cost to get this patched up. or is this a big problem that needs to be corrected asap? i havent noticed a leak or any thing like that.

it cost me like 12 bucks to get it patched and balanced when I had it done..
whatever you do, make sure you get it PATCHED and not PLUGGED...
maybe spray some fix-a-flat in there to seal inside there around the nails
NOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!
Dont use fix a flat in any way shape or form... Not even a little. Fix-a-flat should only be used in the case of extreme emergencies!! If you use in a little bit of a can, you should have the tire removed and the fix-a-flat drained immediately. That crap does seal the hole in the tire but the rest of it sloshes around in the tire causing balancing problems and vibration.
ok i guess i'll get them professionally fixed then.
man don't mess with tires ! always have them fixed pro !!
and don't do it in a hurry ! !
my dad lerned that the hard way ! :(

eep! ok dont do the fix a flat! :eek:
:rolleyes:
Why not use a plug?.:confused: I had a nail in one of my tires to weeks ago. I pulled the nail out, put a plug in and i was done.
I have been using them in tires for years. Not in my car, but truck tires, and 4wheelin ain't easy on tires.:rolleyes:
may be on trucks you don't don't do burnouts and high speeds ! any way ! i am advising you the safest way ! :)

Well i had 3 plugs in one of my tires when i had a ranger. It was slammed, so it seen high speeds all the time, and burn outs haha, i wish my accord could do a burnout like my old ranger could. That was with 50 series tires. But you may be right......
