    Nail in tire, what to do with tire

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Well, happy holidays, I just found out I have a nail in one of my new tires. It wasn't leaking air which is good because we were driving to see family. I took it to Goodyear to see if they could patch it and it's too close to the sidewall for them to fix

    New tire is on order, what should I do with the practically brand new tire that can't be used on a car, any cool things I can make from it?

    Re: Nail in tire, what to do with tire

    after you put the other tire on try to fix it your self with a kit, it is very easy...

    also where is your spare?


    a tire swing in your backyard is a bit trashy but the tire could make a nice decoration in your garage

    Re: Nail in tire, what to do with tire

    another idea... make it into a garage toilet seat, find a headlight washer motor from our beloved B7's and add it to the seat like a bidet for hygene and class

    Paint it brown and white with sprinkles and open up that new donut shop you've always dreamed of.
