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?

 

they wanted to charge you 350 for a new tire?

im not sure if you have the MXM4 or the RE030 but if its the RE030 then here:

Where are you located?

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...

 

thanks everyone....... i am located around chicago and its not a nail i hit a pot hole and i hit it so hard i got the hole on the side right above my rim so i definately need to get a new tire but i tried to tell the dealership its their fault cause i just got the car 6 months ago and i didnt tell them i hit a pothole hahah but i didnt have a warranty so it didnt work haha

 

I know here locally, if your car is damaged from a pot hole the city will pay for repairs.

 

I think pot hole, or windshield crack, should all be repair and paid by the city, or state.

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?

 

$350 , you better be sure you're getting a new tire.

 

In FL your insturance MUST replace your windshield if it has a crack longer than a dollar bill. Great perk.
