Screw/nail in my tire. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I have about 3k miles on my tires.. not sure how long the screw has been there. What should I do? wait til' my tires need to be replaced or replace that tire or get it patched? I have the 21" rims so would I need to order the tire or would some place just happen to carry the p-zero tires with proper dimensions?

As long as the screw is not in the sidewall it can be repaired.

Any reputable shop should be able to repair it for under $20.00

Go get it fixed.

21 inch and you think it will only be 20 dollars to repair,i wouldnt trust a place who would be that cheap also once its repaired its no longer speed rated,a tire like that i would replace just for performance reasons

you can fix it . i would. also it should cost about $25 that is a good price and also ask the shop if they can work on 21" wheels.

A lot of tire stores, such as Discount Tire, offer to repair tires for free. Just call them and confirm. They do this to earn your business.

Discount Tire would most likely do it for $20.00 and do a good job at it.

But he will never know unless he tries.
