Checked my tire, it is 205/60R15
and I also need a wheel, right? | | | | | 04-19-2007, 09:25 AM | #3 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: state college, pa Posts: 3,431 |
If tread on the tire directly opposite the flat one is still good, just get a new tire of the same brand and type.
If it's pretty worn, I suggest getting two new tires, preferrably of the same brand and type as the other two, but not necessarily. __________________

Just find the puncture, if it's a screw or nail remove it. Then go to Autozone buy a plug kit and follow the easy two minute instructions. Inflate your tire and you're good to go. No need to buy a new tire if your old one still has tread left. | | | | | 04-19-2007, 05:49 PM | #5 | | NOBODY F's with the Jesus Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Ventura California Posts: 7,824 |
BTW most reputable tire shops will repair your flat for free, regardless of where you purchased your tire from. They'll just plug it like I mentioned above and usually won't charge anything because it's such an easy job. | | | | | 04-19-2007, 06:38 PM | #6 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 |

Today I had a spring (left front) shoot out of the Benz 150 miles from home. About 12 hours later, I'm finally home. Tomorrow, I'm making the 10 hour drive even if it kills me. __________________
