go get it plugged, better safe than sorry. Besides doesnt cost much to fix


you wont know if your tire is punctured unless u pull out the nail to see how long it is/.

Plugs are only used as a temporary fix, it can be pulled while driving which is why it is illegal. Shops still do it but that is only when the owner needs a new tire and doesnt want to spend money on a patch that they will throw away in a short period of time.

I got a nail in my tire like that before, didnt lose any air either. But i got it patched from the inside just to be safe. It cost me like....$35. Takes the guys at the tire shop 15-20 minutes to do.

Alright cool, shouldn't take long for them to do it right? I'm assuming like 15 minutes or something?
Once they get it into the Shop,remember everybody is getting their snowies put on now.You should expect a fairly long wait ,whilst the people who have paid for tires have them installed .

What kind of car do you have?
cause when I had a nail in my tire, I just took it to Acura (yes I have an acura) and they only charged me $25 (they will patch it up from the inside)
just book an appointment and it should be done quickly

My vehicle is an Acura EL.

I assume tire shops would do a better job repairing the tire, btu then again assuming makes an ass out of you and me.

Anyone shed some light?

how come you are not taking it Kal tire since it's likely to be free?
