nail in tire...
so on my way home after picking up my g from the shop i noticed a weird sound coming from my front left tire. after i got home..went to look and there was a giant nail stuck in the tire. no air leakage so i drove it to nearest tire repair shop. got it patched up in 15 minutes for like $8. question is, will the tire still be good as new or should i think about replacing the whole tire? guy at the repair shop told me it'll be fine for the life of the tire. can i believe him?

extra 3 dollars, and 15 min on your *** for a fixed and probably warranted tire is money well spent!

I had the same thing happen to me one time, took the car in for a oil change and they found a nail in my tire. I needed new rear tires anyways, so the service lady replaced the tire with the nail in it for free, as if I had bought the tire from them. And I ended up paying for just the one tire.

Of course you are entitled to take it somewhere though. I was just clearing up you may not have to remove the wheel unless you want to patch.
Let's all be nice to each other. YAY!
