yeah well its frekin huge in my back left tire, makes loud noises when im driving blah blah w.e, my question is, does chevy cover this??i need to know soon, b.c im takin it tomm morning to get it patched, and all of the tires roatated, since im at 6k....

 

Two things:

1) No I don't think your warranty will cover this, but I may be wrong.

2) If you patch that tire, it is no longer speed rated. You cannot travel safely on it above a certain speed (~100MPH). Z rated tires cannot be patched and used again at high speeds.

 

Warranty will not cover a nail in your tire. Take it somewhere and get it patch'd...
You wont be able to go over 100mph anymore.... Who cares though... If you are going 100+ on any kind of regular basis you shouldnt be driving on public roads.

Ive had 2 nails in my tires already. Im lazy and just plugged them... patching is much better though.

 

hows autocrossing with a patched tire go?? im assuming it would be fine...im not rough on her during autox as some of the guys are

 

Im not sure... personally I have those plugs in my tires... 1 front and 1 rear... and I beat the crud out of mine with no problem. Although im sure the durability has been compromised.. no doubt about that.

 

Dicount Tires patches tires for free they figure you'll come back when you need them replaced

 

Yeah just wait 'til the Tortilla Flat video comes out you'll see Hondamans crazy ass driving HEY VENDIAN WHERE'S THE VIDEO

 

dammit lol, i was hoping i had something where it was covered, looks like im gonna have to fork out 20bucks to get this bitch patched now

 

Well if you would have bought the road hazard package when you got your car then it would be covered. They will replace the tire if its punctured like that and even the wheel if you happen to mess up the wheel because the tire deflated. They will even replace aftermarket wheels with this plan.

If you have this then have it replaced that way but if not then do like the others said and hit up discount tire.

 

you got screwed

 

Walmart will patch for 6.50

 

idk if id trust wal mart lol

 

I 2nd that, I have a patch in my front left tire and I beat the crap out of it all the time. Oh and about that not being able to go over 100mph on them is BS cuz I've done it many many times and it wasnt any different then before it had been patched. <<< The over 100mph was all computer generated and or on close roads

 

haha, i like the last part of that one poolboyz.........where do you get these sick ass sigs???whered you get that one?

 

AFAIK tire damage is covered by general warranty... you guys know for sure that it isn't or are you just pulling that stuff from your asses? Either way, I just took mine to the local 76 and had it plugged for $10.. not worth the hassle of dealing with GM to save a few pennies

 

^^^ I take some good pics and then photoshop them into sigs.

I bring my camera everywhere

 

Tire damage.... If it is the fault of the manufacturer.... Its not Pirelli or GMs fault you ran over a nail.

 

that's true, but guess what....im just going to give a few dealers a call and see...ehh what can it hurt, "no we dont cover that under warranty".....ok

 

Good idea... let us know how it goes... Hell if they do cover it ... I would be shocked... but it would be sweet

 

i dunno I would rate most of us at least as crazy as him during that run although no one else stalled

 

i think I saw a post a while back about the tires being covered under warrenty ONLY if you purchased a dealer package which included such a warrenty

 

^^yep and its called roadside assitance, and its not covered...i have to pay $39 to get it patched...dammit

 

I have ran over 2 nails and each time my dealer has fixed them for free. Patched. Barry Bunker in Marion IN is great.

 

cant beat that, out of the two dealerships ive been to, neither sounded like they were overly helpful, im dissapointed

 

I've lived in Florida now for the past 6 years and have had more flats with nails then I have had in 30 years. Walmart does fine. Flat fixxing isn't rocket science.
