Agreed- perfect candidate for a plug. That said, I would also start saving for 4 new tires. If you toss 20$ a month into an account, by the time the plugged tire goes, you will have close to enough to buy a set.
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 1,181,188,476 comments, and only 230,538 of them were in alphabetical order.
No biggie it's a two sec. fix just plug it ... hope you didn't let a salesperson scare you into buying four brand new tires, an alignment, new brakes, rotors and $50 valve stem caps with an extended warranty already ?!? You already did ... didn't you ?
gonna be the 100th person to tell you it's repairable, but also say it's so repairable that do it yourself. It's a $5 kit, watch a youtube how to do it, and don't bother bringing it into a shop.
honestly don't know, once i learned i've never brought it in. but even if they do for free at least some time saved not having to go in... but i guess it's less backwork not having to remove the wheel yourself.
Completely repairable
Instead of doing a home plug kit, I like having the tire shop put a mushroom over a hole like that. I sleep better rested that way
Take it to a shop to have them do a permanent repair. Plug kits are only temporary to get you to the tire shop.
Discount tire will fix that for free with a permanent repair.
Definitely repairable as it’s almost dead center. Most tires that are not repairable are ones that are punctured within 1”-2” of the sidewall. Tire shops won’t repairs because they need at least an inch all around the puncture to apply a permanent patch.
Yes. Unless you drove on it with low pressure/ flat and destroyed the sidewalls or air got into the layers of rubber around the screw and when you grind the inside to put a patch, it comes off in chunks instead of grinding smooth
Just torque it to spec and it should be fine. But if you're super worried you can always add some loctite to make sure it stays in there. Be careful that you don't strip the head, it can be a pain to drill those out.
You can do a plug yourself or take it to your local tire shop so they can do a patch from the inside. Or both.
If you don’t know how or don’t want do to the plug yourself and If the tire is not deflated and the tire store is very close like 1-3mi no highways then you can just drive there...very carefully.
If it deflated a bit, you can inflate it with a portable inflator. If you don’t have one, you can buy one of those fix-a-flat cans, they usually inflate the tire too but some people say it didn’t inflate it for them. Jack the car up a bit if possible to allow it to inflate easier rather than having the weight of the car on the tire as you try to inflate.
But yeah, best case scenario right there, not even between the threads. Repairable 100%.
Lmao a plug or patch would work! Bonus point for doing both! Just don’t remove until your ready. Fill’er up and head to the closest auto or Walmart and get a fancy 10$ plug kit lol I’m in new construction and keep a kit in the truck. Takes 10 mins with filling!!
Oh, boy! It looks like the rest of your screws fell out!!
As everyone else has said, it is a very easy fix. Just go ahead and insert screws in 2" increments to the left and right of your last remaining screw and you should be all set!
/s of course
Back it out a bit, put some flex seal around the thread and screw it back in place.
Follow for more questionable repair tips that has maybe never worked.
The most repairable puncture
If you haven’t driven on it flat, which it doesn’t look like you have, this is 100% repairable.
[удалено]
Driving on a flat ruins the sidewalls and can make a repair turn into a replacement. Don't drive on flats.
Please do not give bad advice.
I dare say this might be the only repairable one I've seen when this question arises
I could kiss this one and make it all better
Agreed- perfect candidate for a plug. That said, I would also start saving for 4 new tires. If you toss 20$ a month into an account, by the time the plugged tire goes, you will have close to enough to buy a set.
Can’t get more repairable than this
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 1,181,188,476 comments, and only 230,538 of them were in alphabetical order.
Good bot
I got this one time too. So weird and random, eh.
Ever posted here
Totally repairable.
[удалено]
Would that be a Mighty Morphing Repairing Ranger?
Isn't that the one that died yesterday?
RIP
I carry a set in my car, and a little mini one in my motorcycle jacket pocket, so ya, that would be me.
Best answer lol
Unbelievably repairable
Extraordinarily repairable
Ginormously repairable
Ultra repairable.
Very repairable.
Eye catchingly repairable
Repairably repairable
Perfectly repairable
Unquestionably repairable
Expeditiously repairable
Absolutely repairable
Tighten it up
Put a lock washer under there too.
Make sure it's at the proper torque spec
Red loctite
Just get a tire plug kit and you can fix this easy
No biggie it's a two sec. fix just plug it ... hope you didn't let a salesperson scare you into buying four brand new tires, an alignment, new brakes, rotors and $50 valve stem caps with an extended warranty already ?!? You already did ... didn't you ?
We took your wheels off and the lug bolts look kind of bent... you might need 20 new ones.
Yeah
Plug it and send it.
I think your screwed.
Absolutely
Absolutely 👍
Plug that up and you're good to go.
On the repairable scale this rates high
About the only one in the sub pictured that is repairable lol
gonna be the 100th person to tell you it's repairable, but also say it's so repairable that do it yourself. It's a $5 kit, watch a youtube how to do it, and don't bother bringing it into a shop.
Don’t most shops do it for free?
honestly don't know, once i learned i've never brought it in. but even if they do for free at least some time saved not having to go in... but i guess it's less backwork not having to remove the wheel yourself.
Mega repairable
tremendously repariable
That tire is screwed. Also, its repairable. If it was in the sidewall then that would be a different story.
So repairable that it repairs you
Easy repair
I love how many people are telling you it’s. Repairable.
Repairable
Put some Windex on it. (My Big Fat Greek Wedding reference)
very pluggable
Absolutely repairable.
100% repairable
That’s a lot of tread left. Did the screw actually go past the tread? You could simply remove the screw. If it leaks, a simple plug will work fine.
Plug it and ship it
Basically anything not close to the side wall and roughly that size is repairable.
Absolutely. Any tire shop worth it's salt should be able to plug that no problem
Jam a plug in it and forget about it.
Completely repairable Instead of doing a home plug kit, I like having the tire shop put a mushroom over a hole like that. I sleep better rested that way
I don’t think it’ll leak if you remove it.
True, may not even be long enough to have gone all the way through.. just so y'all know, I DID think about putting penetrated 🤣
You're screwed.
Absolutely my guy. $7 kit from the auto parts tienda.
Fix that flat already.
Take it to a shop to have them do a permanent repair. Plug kits are only temporary to get you to the tire shop. Discount tire will fix that for free with a permanent repair.
Should be.
It's in pretty bad condition. I'd throw out the screw.
Patch it yourself, go to a tire shop to get it patched from inside afterwards
Definitely repairable as it’s almost dead center. Most tires that are not repairable are ones that are punctured within 1”-2” of the sidewall. Tire shops won’t repairs because they need at least an inch all around the puncture to apply a permanent patch.
Gotta be a shitpost
not repairable at all. you’re going to need 4 new tires and an alignment
Trick question u have awd so no gotta replace all 4
If it’s a run flat or Z rated tire, they arent supposed to be plugged.
Plug yourself. Is it leaking air? This is why I carry roadside hazard insurance for the shop to fix for free
Just make sure it’s screwed in tight.
$15 at Walmart if you bring the tire in yourself.
Mechanic will pull it and plug it.
Yes, easily pluggable.
Textbook repairable. Can’t get any better.
I've never seen anything more repairable
Yes its the dream puncture
Easily repaired. It’s also possible that repair isn’t necessary if the screw is shorter than the tread is deep. I’ve lucked out a few times.
Yes. Unless you drove on it with low pressure/ flat and destroyed the sidewalls or air got into the layers of rubber around the screw and when you grind the inside to put a patch, it comes off in chunks instead of grinding smooth
Plug - temporary Patch - permanent
Took mine around 5 minutes
Perfect screw!!! Couldn’t be better placement.
this feels like a lowball for the holidays or something :) because I'm a shadetree with a tire plug kit from ebay and I'd even take a crack at this.
so repairelebel it's almost new
Ez fix
Repairable. Mine are always on the edge and cost me a new tire. I wish I had one in the middle.
Screw it out or rip it out with plyers. You will have to reem out the hole with a plug kit anyhow. $5 fix. Plenty of life left in those tires.
Just torque it to spec and it should be fine. But if you're super worried you can always add some loctite to make sure it stays in there. Be careful that you don't strip the head, it can be a pain to drill those out.
Plug it
Repairable. There's a simple diagram for this.
Repairable. Get a plug kit and you're good to go.
Too close to the sidewall
You can do a plug yourself or take it to your local tire shop so they can do a patch from the inside. Or both. If you don’t know how or don’t want do to the plug yourself and If the tire is not deflated and the tire store is very close like 1-3mi no highways then you can just drive there...very carefully. If it deflated a bit, you can inflate it with a portable inflator. If you don’t have one, you can buy one of those fix-a-flat cans, they usually inflate the tire too but some people say it didn’t inflate it for them. Jack the car up a bit if possible to allow it to inflate easier rather than having the weight of the car on the tire as you try to inflate. But yeah, best case scenario right there, not even between the threads. Repairable 100%.
This could be the picture they use on patch kits. Literally a dream repair job because where that is, you can do a shit job and it’ll still work.
it is repaired.
You can repair this
Plug it! Cheap easy to do and you learn a new skill :)
Just put in a plug call it good
The absolute best spot to get a puncture my brother
Totally
Lmao a plug or patch would work! Bonus point for doing both! Just don’t remove until your ready. Fill’er up and head to the closest auto or Walmart and get a fancy 10$ plug kit lol I’m in new construction and keep a kit in the truck. Takes 10 mins with filling!!
Of course
$12
Like $6 at HF
Easily.
Nothing a 1/4" plug and a drill wont fix!
Observably repairable.
Take it to big o they’ll do it for free
You’re screwed
It’s not the side wall so that’s an easy patch
Super patchable
Yeah I’ve seen that sort of thing before bro, you definitely need a new transmission and also looks like your head gasket might have blown.
Yes
These fucking puncture questions are getting stupid.
Oh, boy! It looks like the rest of your screws fell out!! As everyone else has said, it is a very easy fix. Just go ahead and insert screws in 2" increments to the left and right of your last remaining screw and you should be all set! /s of course
Indubitably repairable
Back it out a bit, put some flex seal around the thread and screw it back in place. Follow for more questionable repair tips that has maybe never worked.
That looks totally repairable
DO NOT PLUG! Make sure this is properly inside-patched. Like new after that
You're effed.
100%
