Topic: Whats up with the amount of nails on the roads? !!! (Read 11794 times)

Coming home from programming class, and noticed my back rear tire is fucking flat. There was two big headed nails. Now are these are like for sheet rock? idk, but they fucked up my tire and because its on the side wall, the tire repair shop said he cant fix it. Thank goodness i got a free tire replacement warranty, so I replaced the piece of shit.

America needs to wake up and make these machines with a big ass magnet on the front and rear end of a truck and hover over the ground picking up nails.

Could it be that a tire repair companies are dumping nails on the roads to piss us off and make us pay to repair our tires? I wondered if that was the case!

This is the fucking 2nd time in a month. If i get a flat tire again, I will pick up a tank and drive that to school!

That is nowhere near the sidewall you can totally repair that. He just wanted to sell you a new tire, or better yet a full set!

It's good thing you have a warranty because tires are very expensive.

Town Fair Tire is a ripoff tire repair center! I am going to stick with my local tire repair shop and have him do the work instead.

Yea km, that's what I was thinking too. It aint on the side wall, its right on the treads, so its definitely repairable. They are selling me nothing but shit.

@ troy, yea man, the warranty was a savior. The total cost for a tire is $85 plus tire balancing, mounting it on my car, the total came out to be $113. But i ended up paying less than $30.

Im not too concerned, but next time, Im gonna go somewhere else. We should support the little guys too, since they usually have better experience and prices are decent.

There are no nails on the road here, However, There's a shitload, And I mean a shitload of holes. You can barely find a nice street anymore.

Some people seem prone to nails. I've never had anything in my tires, while I think this year alone, my dad has had two nails/screws. More expensive the tire higher odds of getting shit stuck in them. Why I drive a POS.

Programming Essentials Using C++. I love it. Its my first time programming and I find it very interesting. I can't explain why I love it so much, but I enjoy it.

We have to make a list of tasks, flow charts, then we code. If you code right away, its hard. I am sure Killermonkey and Troy do flowcharts or sketch down things before you actually write code, because its not easy to think shit top of your head.

Also I want to thank those who helped me with issues that I was having!

Go to autozone (or an equivalent) and get a damn tire plug! It is designed to literally outlast the lifetime of the tire. I have used them multiple times. AND go to the tire place, and slap that guy upside his face. That is NOT the sidewall, and no where near it.

Reallly? so its basically like this? http://store.aihalaska.com/images/aih/slm1034a.jpg

I think that's the actual shit they put in your tires right?

Yah that's the stuff!

Yessir that is it

Kratos · « **Reply #15 on:** April 14, 2012, 02:48:25 pm »

Gonna do that myself and save the time and money! Thanks!

5 days later I get another fucking flat tire! My bro drops my car off and I come back from classes and I see a spare tire on my car! I call him and tell him The fuck is a spare tire doing on my car? he said It popped and told me to get the price of a new one if it cant be repaired.

I didnt feel like going to town fair tire, but since i have the warranty (it covers 4 free tires) I got ANOTHER free tire. Apparently this is my third tire I have blown out in a single year. I have one more tire to blow out and after that its time to pay full price!

The total came out $120 before savings. I paid $28! Would I complain? not really. I am going to start searching for used tires on craigslist and get them checked by someone. That could save me couple of hundreds instead of buying a new one, smart thing to do?
