FLat Tire Problem
I got a flat tire recently and i went to my dealership and they wanted to charge me over 350 to change the tire. Where can i get a tire for a 08 Base TL for not too much?

Just go any tire store, and they'll fix the nail for less than $30...
Why you guys always going back to Dealership for minor non-covered issues?

hmmm, i just assumed the tire cannot be repaired. but if it can, then he should probably just do that.

if its just a flat due to a nail or something, plugging the tire is about 10-15 bucks. but if the hole is in/on the sidewall, you definitely need a new tire. in that case buy elsewhere.

Where is the nail located? If it's on the bottom, it can be plugged. If it's on the side, time for a new tire. If you need a new tire, check the discount tire places around town. Never go the dealership unless it's a warranty issue. Good luck.

man go to your local flat fix, if its a nail that can be pulled out and plugged they'll do tht, if not 75/80.00 and get a new tire..... ID NeVer go the dealer for a tire... you're crazy for evening letting that thought formulate in your brain...

After all, debris and little rocks on the freeway could be dangerous and I believe the state or city should maintain and keep a safe road, right?
