So I picked this up yesterday moving under 15mph in a neighborhood.

Just what I wanted in a brand new tire! We've had the E under 30days & this Sumitomo(sp) LHS just cost us $180 mounted and balanced... :|

That sucks!!! did you have roadside coverage on the tire? My wife had a pair of Klien pliers jump up from the freeway into between the grill and hood... thank goodness it didn't go through the grill.

depending on what it looks like on the inside, that might be repairable.

 

[f5000sl]

No tire hazard, we just bought the E and the new tires came with the purchase.

What is it, a person's finger or a cigar butt ?:lol:

 

[f5000sl]

Yeah, that's not even close to repairable. That's almost an 1" thick bolt for a plow.

Thats a bumber... :-( you're better off getting a new tire than to try to repair it. That hole is pretty big I wouldn't even bother trying to fix it.

Once had a 3 foot long piece of rebar bounce off a truck on front of me on the interstate go javelin-style through the grill, radiator, and a/c condenser of my Volvo Turbowagon. The water pump stopped it.

I was happy it wasn't about 1 foot higher at windshield height!!!!

Okay, back on topic.

Even if a tire place tells you that they can repair that, I would never trust it. Buy a new tire and be done with it.

A few yrs back in Miami a lady and her daughter where driving on the I95 and piece of re-barb went through the windshield and pinned her daughter to the seat... it missed her heart by inches. Pretty crazy whats on the highways. I live in LA now and they never clean the freeways, once I almost ran into a tire and axle sitting in the middle of the diamond lane as I was coming around the curve on the 210 freeway.
