Hey all,
Driving to work on Friday night I got out to hear a hisssss coming from my RRHS tire. Anyway, after a closer inspection, I noticed a 2 inch long screw stuck in the inside-side of the sidewall - just where the tread meets with the sidewall (FWIW, my tires are just Goodyear GS-A's 225's).
Normally, I'd prefer to just get a new tire, but these are relatively new and I was wondering if there's a way that I can patch it up so that it's safe to use. I tried a basic patch kit but b/c of the treadline which joins the sidewall, I can't seem to get a good tight fit for the patch.
I have the spare on at the moment, but, I'd like to work out something more permanent.... And yes, unfortunately, it's been a long month already, so I can't just go out and buy a new one until I get paid in a few more weeks....
Thanks in advance,
Quarterwave
