Bad tire problem

[Anonymous]

Just took the new tires out for a spin, 20 miles. I got home and the tire was low. Look what I found...http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-1/942668/100_1050.JPG


Do you think that it is safe to run with a tube? I don't have any in it now and it leaks. I just REALLY hate to have to spend another $160 on a tire.

160 is better then hitting a wall :?

True..true..

Just have had bad luck this year. (3 month period)
-found out that the rod bolts hit the block after dynoing, unseen when assembled. Fixed$$$

-fuel pump went out(1 month to warranty it)

-had to pull car home when pump went out and ruined the transmission (front pump, high drum, misc parts) fixed $$$

-mounting new tires and lug nuts were cheap *ss. Striped out 2 studs and nuts trying to take them off after first install. $$$$

- now the tire thing...

I just hope it'll stop soon!!

Sidewall injuries really suck....I had one once and found a patch about 3 times too big. :lol: and it worked just fine. The inner tube should get you by, but DO NOT go without checking it every time you drive the car. Don't do any donuts or drifting either!! :lol:

Not slicks...basically slicks, but not.

spend another 320 and sealcoat the driveway

sealcoat..

as much as my daily driver leaks, I don't think that it'd be worth it.
