I had a screw or a nail or something in a tire before, my mechanic fixed it I don't think they even charged me anything for it and I never had any problems after that, I would definitely see if it can be done, probably depends on what kinda damage it is.

I think it would mess up stuff if you had 1 new tire and 3 old ones depending on how long you've had those tires, if it cant be fixed you might be better off replacing 2, keep the good one as a full sized spare.

Go to your dealer, they'll fix it for you under the 3 yr roadside assistance that comes with the car.

Oh wait, you guys don't have it, you didn't buy an EL....

It'll cost you $25 to get it done at the dealership to fix a flat... (assuming the tire is still usable)... I thought I had to pay that when my tire went flat... It was because of the stupid valve stem... When I got the bill, it was $0 due to the roadside assistance, even though they were my winter tires (not-OEM).... WhoohoO!

that happened to me before with my beater last winter. I slid and hit a snowbank. Left my car at the Go station and when I go back later that day, the tires were flat. I filled it up and it never leaked. I figure the air just came out when you hit the bank. There most likely isn't any holes or leaks. Just keep an eye on it and see if it does leak at all. If so, then take it to the dealer fo sho.

your tire probably hit the bank that the rubber slipped out a little which caused the air to come out.. i've heard about things like that.[IMG]i/expressions/demon.gif[/IMG]

hehehe... i have an LXG and have the 5year coverage... got it free since my mom knew one of the managers [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

Just wondering, do you tip the guy that changes your tire for you when you call for roadside assistance?
