These repairs are pretty effective, but I would personally take it to a tire shop for a proper internal glued patch for piece of mind especially as it only costs around $40. But I guess if it held for 4,000 miles. Meh.
I've plugged a few tires over the years with absolutely no problem. Even tracked a 335 with a plugged tire years ago.
thanks guys, i'll let you know what the dealership says. i got about 12k miles on the rears so i'm thinking that if they replace the one with the screw that'd be better and i'll pay to have the other rear done
Well they will replace it free of charge won't they?
i'm good friends with my SA. he said that they do sometimes repair on occasion; but if i want he'll replace it for me. They will check the other rear and he'll let me know if they recommend to replace it or not
dealership called this morning. they recommended replacing both rear tires as they are 5/32's (fronts are 7/32's so they're fine). total cost is $621 for both tires including the $50 deductible. this is for the michellins
