take it to the tire shop you got the tires at, they might do a flat repair for free or at a discount because you bought the tires there.
meanwhile, you can put on the spare but just not go above like 55 mph. If the tire isn't repairable (the nail is in the sidewall or close to it) then you'll need a new one. --------------------  94 GT - Sold -------- 69 Pontiac Lemans - Sold 88 Alltrac - Sold ---- 04 WRX - Sold 00 GT-S - Sold ------ 91 Miata - project/drift car 95 GT - Sold -------- 96 GT - New Daily Drive |
