Sup,
I had a nail my pass/rear tire. Well obviously the air slowly is getting out. Took it to the dealer and got quoted for $292 installed. Calling around but lot of tire dealers dont carry it or the price is crazy.. Need some advice please. The tire is TOYO PROXES 245/40/ZR18 97W. The tires have 17000 miles on it so it may hurt more since I MAY???? have to change the other rear tire too...right?
HELP!!!!
I am in the IE area but OC is cool.
thanks.

Ali,
Did you check to see if the tire can be patched? Usually more cost effective to do the repair than to replace it. You may want to check that out. america's tire does free flat repairs.

Thanks for the reply guys.....
Here is the problem....the nail went very close to the side wall and per several people it is unrepairable. Believe me i did try get repaired first. Well (i know some of you will hate me for this
) i went to a discount tire and the guy quoted me $355 for 2 tires installed.
Here is the odd part...all day today the LOW TIRE light did not come on. I did fill the tire with air this morning on the way to work and drove all they way to YORBA LINDA and back..its a 70mile roundtrip and tire was fine???
