So I got a nail in my right rear tire. I went to the tire shop they tried to patch it up the nail was too close to the sidewall. I ended having to pay for a new tire at 3k miles. 450 BUCKS FOR TIRE AND LABOR. One tire. god damn runflats costs so much. How much u guys usually pay for tires?

 

125-150... From now on I will only buy Michelin tires.

 

$450!?!?! Hopefully you bought a warranty for all the tires now to cover replacement! I just did that at DiscountTire (good recommendation, 1SICKGOAT!!!!).

 

yep, better get the road hazard warranty from Discount tires.........awesome deal

 

1.. Get the warranty,,,ALWAYS!!!!
2. Lose the runflats!!!!

 

same thing happened to my brother is it couldnt be patched up kinda discourages me with getting 18s considering howmuch the tires are

 

yea, no run flats ... i'm almost off low-pro as well (i've had EVERY tire repared now) ... i almost think i want 16" rims with some really fat back tires

 

yeah sorry, no room in the vert for a spare, so RFT are necessary.

 

My Miata has no room for a spare either but run flats are optional. If you don't get them (I didn't), you get a little kit in the trunk with a plug in compressor and some of that injectable sav-a-flat type stuff to get you back to a garage!

 

yeah and im hella scared cause my IS-F are 19s....
hm.... ill consider it.

 

wow, tires are so expensive nowadays.

 

throw out the runflats, that's why you get AAA.

careful about plug in compressor, they can damage the TPS (if you have it).

runflats are expension. but imagine in my case. got flat, tire discontinued so had to replace both sides with new tires, and then 1 month later car sold.....

 

What kind of tire did you get?

 

Whatever comes stock on an IS-F I think.

 

Call me nuts, but I would have rather spent $600-$1000 to replace all 4 tires with good HP radials than to have spent nearly $500 on a single run flat. Knowing me, I probably would have replaced those run flats long ago anyway, but my gosh $450 for 1 run flat? That is just crazy.
