Is this tire repairable?

Bad Boy · 01-06-2015, 08:59 PM

This just happened a few hours ago. Seems like a somewhat thick piece of sheet metal about an inch long and maybe 1/5th or 6th thick impaled my rear right tire some how.
While I was changing into the spare, another 370z pulled over beside me to check and see if I needed any help. Not sure if he is a member here or not, but it was very nice of him.
Is this repairable? Im going to a tire shop tomorrow, but would like to have an idea of what I should expect.

I believe that tire is toast, bro. Not sure I would want to risk my life riding on that even if someone were able to "fix" it.

Bad Boy · 01-06-2015, 09:11 PM

Yeah, I figured...

DEpointfive0 · 01-06-2015, 09:29 PM

I doubt it... Sorry it died with that much tread...

But sweet that another 370Z guy checked in to see if you needed anything

Invest in road hazard warranty. It's well worth it

You've cut/damaged way too may cords.

For future reference and so there is never any confusion, this is the industry repair standard for all light vehicles tires:

http://www.rma.org/wp-content/upload...lchart1111.pdf

As stated by the parameters, no tire may be repaired beyond the following limit:

PUNCTURE INJURY LIMIT* 1/4” (6mm)

No reputable tire shop would repair that tire. I would definitely look into a shop that includes road hazard as part of your purchase price

No way!

at least it was the Oil pan, that caught it.

So I bought a brand new tire of the same brand and everything and was able to buy road hazard warranty for all 4 tires.
Is there anything bad about running the rear with different tread depths on each side?

here is how it looked on the inside...
