Screw me

got a screw in my tires within the first 1000 miles smh. Sitting at a local repair shop waiting for it to be repaired. Not a fan of these Michelin tires. Never got a screw in my bfg’s just saying lol they were also 10plys

 

Get a repair kit and do it yourself. Save time and money. Don't blame the tires.

 

I've had three this year, only one punctured through and just barely. The other two were short sheet metal screws that pulled right out and didn't leak. It happens.

 

27$ they did a patch on the inside I guess. I thought about doing it myself but fuck it lol and they warranty it for 2years/24k miles

 

I've had a Stop N Go tire plugger for years. The thing is awesome. Best way to fix a flat, imho. https://www.stopngo.com/

 

Go to Discount Tire, they will repair for free even if you didn't buy from them

 

Had a bolt go through a my old set of ko2 (e rated) that had a thread width of at least a quarter inch. They were able to plug it. All depends on luck

 

Get a plug kit for future use. Stupid easy and cheap. Dont even need to remove the wheel or jack it up for a basic screw or nail job, provided you have an air source. I’ve done four over the last few years and the plugs always outlived the tires.

 

Just had one fixed for free today on the wife's vehicle. Didnt even purchase the set from them

 

THIS^^^^^ I've bought a lot of tires from Discount. Great place. Even my new locally owned tire store where I get my tires now.............free repairs, balancing, and rotations!!!!

 

Ha ya true. When I bought my Tacoma my gf spilled coffee on the seat with less than 30miles on it I was like are you serious? Banned her from coffee in my truck for the next 970miles lol I guess I have some bad luck with new vehicles if it ain’t one thing it’s another

 

Les Schwab does this too

 

Two in a week.. One required a patch, the other was in the lug and ok to pull.

 

Pssst.... Michelin owns BFG. Same tire.

 

I didn’t know that

 

This past winter I got a screw in one of my new tires...on the drive home (50mi)...in the sidewall (un-patchable). Had to buy a new tire as warranty does not cover punctures, just defects.

 

Must be the season to get screwed.

I got one on Sunday

 

Tis spring lol

 

I got a screw in my Tundra the day I drove it home from the dealer! Fortunately the dealer took care of me and replaced the tire for free (no patch!).

Pretty sure they have a bunch of those OEM tires that they took off the trucks they upgrade.

Side note, if you're buying a truck with wheel and tire packages make sure you get the OEM wheels and tires or a price credit for them. It blows my mind that dealerships will put on new wheels and tires, charge double what it would have cost me aftermarket, and give absolutely no credit or the original wheels and tires.. which I am very much paying for in addition to their addons.

 

Good call wouldn’t have even thought of that but your right they charge you msrp for the wheel and tire upgrade and charge you for the original without even the thought of a reach around. I hate dealerships

 

The title on this thread was misleading. I’ll see myself out.

 

Cannot say enough good things about Discount Tire. I've spent plenty of $$$$ with them over the years, their customer service is top notch.

 

Another reason to go with Discount Tire. Their road hazard warranty covers everything. I had two tires on my wife's (now daughter's) car that had been plugged two or three times each (bad luck and a lot of construction in the area) and they replaced both under the road hazard warranty. All it cost me was the price of a new warranty.

 

I hate screws in my tires and busted freaking windshields from rocks being thrown from someone’s tires! I’ll bet I’ve repaired 5 windshield and replaced 3 in the last 10 years. I can’t begin to tell you how many screws, nails, rocks that have punctured my tires. About 10 years ago my wife actually had a motorcycle clutch lever ruin her tire.
