Replacing the tire is not an option. I was thinking about getting a big black screw and coating it with a hot asphalt based material. I would then screw the screw in and hope that it holds.

 

Is risking your life and those around you on the road worth the cost of a new tire?


It cannot be plugged since it on the sidewall and I would not count on a screw holding, just get a new tire.

 

I hope this post is a joke.

 

Take the bus until you can afford a new tire.... I'm being serious.

 

$$Cha Ching Cha Ching$$.....gots to be replaced! No safe way around it.

 

get a new tire, not worth risking others lives or your life. it would only cost no more that 150 bucks

 

My tire got slashed. In fact all the tires on the side of the street where I parked got slashed. Some racist f-kers whom they never caught. Anyway new tire was only $65 and they even put it on in less than 5 min. That's the way to go.

 

Put your spare on and drive slowly and cautiously till you can afford a new tire.

 

I don't drive slowly or cautiously.

I have been maintaining the air pressure in the tire since I found the nail. I will be checking into used tire places this week for a replacement.

 

heck, get a used tire. shouldnt be more than $30 for all we care

 

You can't patch that. Get a new tire ASAP

 

Don't drive around in that. Spend the money and be on the safe side. It may be hard on your wallet, but you'll have a peace of mind.

 

I'm totally with Andrew here. Then again my replacement tire was only $35. Got a used one from a local tire place. Far less than I thought I'd be spending.

Seriously though, as the commercial goes... You have a lot riding on your tires. Don't want to end up with a blowout and losing control of your vehicle. Or even simpler, having the tire deflate entirely and scraping up your rims.

Still think you can't afford it?
