Figures, I was detailing my car for its first trip to show my parents and I found a huge nail/bolt in my tire. I only have 800 miles on the tires, the whole car for that matter. I have a decently long trip tomorrow, 200 miles each way, and the screw is almost in the sidewall, less than 1/2 in from the edge and I would say it is probably a size 8 or 10. Being that the viper is my daily driver, what to do for tomorrow??
1. Postpone the trip till next year, thanksgiving is only once a year....(not really feasible)
2. Go to Wal-Mart and plug it myself??
3. Drive it and get it fixed after the holiday??
After I get back, do I need to replace this tire, I know this is a hugely debated topic, but it is very close to the sidewall. I will take some pics and email them to those who can offer some expertise on this issue. Thanks a ton.
Happy Thanksgiving
