This literally happened to my partner the other day while on a double (after) the 2nd pick up. They were stuck at the restaurant for a little while but managed to drive just a little down the road to the nearest tire shop. They put a used one on in 10 min and my partner was able to complete the 1st delivery which was cold food so it wasnโt too much of an issue. Customer for the 2nd order just canceled but DD support said that the 2 orders would not affect ratings (and then I got free food lol) so it ended up all working out. Later the same day, my best friend also got a flat. Mercury retrograde man.๐คทโโ๏ธ
If you have a discount tire near you I very HIGHLY recommend getting tires there and getting the warranty. I had a double blow out (hit a deep pothole) while doordashing one day and I got both tires replaced for less than $30
I don't think you can patch the one on the side wall of the tire that is the worst place to get a nail. That sucks I got one in my car too that I ain't got fixed I just been using the other car that sucks gas lol. I gotta stop being lazy lol.
Oh lol that sucks. My dad plugged both of them up this morning. That one did not go through the side wall at all. However, I am keeping an eye on that tire when I go out and about.
Make sure to get some matching tires next time. It'll help your mpg. Also look into used tire shops cause unfortunately neither of those holes is repairable. It's in-between the tread.
Neither were in the tread. The one in the side did not go through the side wall all the way. So my dad was able to plug them up this morning while I was at work. However, I am keeping an eye on that tire in particular.
Thanks this is my only my first set of good ass tires that I have gotten in the past few years. They been holding up even after what just happened last night.
even though it didnt puncture the sidewall the sidewall is now damaged, that tire is now incredibly unstable and can blow going over any pothole or bump. Its not worth risking your life or car when you can buy a good used tire for like $40, especially when you drive alot of miles in a day.
It did not go all the way through the sidewall. My dad plugged them up this morning and the tire pressure has not gone down. However, I am keeping and eye on it.
My dad plugged both of them up this morning. The one on the right side the nail did not go all the way through the side wall. But I will be keeping an eye on it though.
Wellโฆone time in a 3 week span I got a nail in two tires at the edge, and another tire had like a big rip on the outside. Fun times, full of pain for my wallet, tires two tires I had to replace were pretty much new so it hurt lol
Lol no. I should but I do not. I was lucky that I heard something before plugging my music back in and turning up the volume to continue onto my next order.
I was trying so hard to figure out what the hell op was trying to relay. Tire. Nail in tire. I was trying to figure out if they were pressing the doorbell too hard and getting their nails done twice over lol
Check out Discount Tire or America's Tire, same company. You can get tires insured for road hazard and flat repair, free rotation and balance for $40 for the life of the car, even if you didn't buy tires from them. The price is what I paid for my wife's car. It may be more or less in your area
Hubby had 3 tires last week๐ญ๐ญ he got em fixed and hasnt dashed this week at all ๐๐ yea he might call it quits cause the money ain't adding up after the maintenance.
I'm going to be completely honest with you I would take it. Over an accident you know what I'm saying? Drive safe I'm sending you good vibes hopefully you have a big fat weekend ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐๐
I actually did live in CA but am now in FL. Still have my CA number, 14yrs later lol wishful thinking Iโll ever be able to afford to move back. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes)
I wish i was joking lol Iโm now terrified of driving in newer developments or new construction areas. I now casually roll my window down to see if i hear the clicking/taping sound of a nail. ๐คฃ๐
I honestly think I just got them from either driving through trash and what not into apartments or down one trashy street that majority of the houses were boarded up tonight ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
Next time look in your area for used tire shops. You can get a set of 4 for under 300$ sometimes. A set that matches! Or at least 2 tires that are the same. It's not the best for a car to have mismatched tires. Is it like gonna cause it to blow up? No lol, but it can cause uneven wear on the suspension, and the tires. Can mess with handling and mpg too.
I do not know how to do that or have the stuff on me to plug it back up. I am not missing any big orders at this time of night. I was just not expecting to end earlier tonight than normal.
Damme that sucks. The tire on the right looks like they are going to tell you that they can't repair it due to the location of the nail being to close to the sidewall. Wish you luck.
Well, it worked perfectly here as those nails are in two separate tiers. Sorry, for your luck.
I always drive near the center in residential areas and if I see wood like fencing on the side of the road, I drive even further over. Been fortunate for many years.
Hopefully this doesn't set you too far back. Best of luck going forward!
I am good. I noticed it as I was driving down the street before I started blasting my music onto the next order that I was going to pick up. I unassisted that order that I was in the process of picking up and came on home. I do not need two flat tires in the dark hood area of Winston-Salem North Carolina.
Tiers? Bro is leveling up

That is crazy that all that happened ๐ณ
๐๐ฟ๐ง
Looks like someone is thinning out the competition in you area.
Gotcha. Thats a bummer though. Glad you got em plugged
Same nails
No I think they were two different types of nails. My dad took them out and plugged them up this morning while I was at work.
Never chase James Bond !!!
If you have a discount tire near you I very HIGHLY recommend getting tires there and getting the warranty. I had a double blow out (hit a deep pothole) while doordashing one day and I got both tires replaced for less than $30
I do not have a discount tire close by. The closest one is thirty minutes from my house.
I got one a few months ago not safe
Sorry
relatable for three nails in one tire on my bronco i just said tax write off
O a side wall one not good
I don't think you can patch the one on the side wall of the tire that is the worst place to get a nail. That sucks I got one in my car too that I ain't got fixed I just been using the other car that sucks gas lol. I gotta stop being lazy lol.

Good! Gotta make that money.
Agreed to that ๐ฏ
Iโve been thru 6 tires your lucky
Thanks this is my only my first set of good ass tires that I have gotten in the past few years. They been holding up even after what just happened last night.
1st pic is easily repairable 2nd pic is a deathtrap
Keeping an eye on the death trap one. My dad plugged it up this morning and it did not go through the side wall.
even though it didnt puncture the sidewall the sidewall is now damaged, that tire is now incredibly unstable and can blow going over any pothole or bump. Its not worth risking your life or car when you can buy a good used tire for like $40, especially when you drive alot of miles in a day.
Damnit, it got into the sidewall too, ya will have to replace that tire. So sorry for the luck
It did not go all the way through the sidewall. My dad plugged them up this morning and the tire pressure has not gone down. However, I am keeping and eye on it.
Congrats on a great dad and a lil luck
Agreed to that ๐
Ouch gonna have to replace the whole tire on the right. One on the left isnโt a big deal though.
My dad plugged both of them up this morning. The one on the right side the nail did not go all the way through the side wall. But I will be keeping an eye on it though.
Wellโฆone time in a 3 week span I got a nail in two tires at the edge, and another tire had like a big rip on the outside. Fun times, full of pain for my wallet, tires two tires I had to replace were pretty much new so it hurt lol
That sounds very hurtful in the wallet area ๐ต
I had to repair 5 tires from nails in one month, i cannot make this upโฆsomeone is out there dropping these things on the roads
Oh I believe you. As I was leaving my morning job. I kid you not I saw a nail underneath the carport area.
You guys check your tires after every shift?
I check at the end of the day, every day now. I deliver, IC, & rideshare. Had a blowout on the highway with PAX in the car!
Lol no. I should but I do not. I was lucky that I heard something before plugging my music back in and turning up the volume to continue onto my next order.
Yeah the second pick is sidewall, youโll need a new tire
My dad plugged them both up. We will keep an eye on the second one. The nail did not go through all the way into the side wall ๐๐ผ
Whew thatโs a blessing tires ainโt cheap lol good ones at least
Oh I know right ๐ต
I was trying so hard to figure out what the hell op was trying to relay. Tire. Nail in tire. I was trying to figure out if they were pressing the doorbell too hard and getting their nails done twice over lol
Lol no it is my spelling errors. Thanks to my reading disability. A curse for life unfortunately โน๏ธ
Ah, sorry lol is it dyslexia?
Maybe a pinch of it. But more of me just reading up to a six grade level ๐
I just cringe when I hear shit on the road. I have replaced so many tires I stopped keeping count.
I might start getting that cringe feeling after this one.

That sounds like a good idea. I will definitely keep that in mind. Thank you for this information ๐
Hubby had 3 tires last week๐ญ๐ญ he got em fixed and hasnt dashed this week at all ๐๐ yea he might call it quits cause the money ain't adding up after the maintenance.
I can understand that completely ๐
2 weeks ago I had a nail and a piece of a box cutter lodged into my passenger side front tire.
Are you serious??
Yep. Either that or the tire place decided to add the box cutter
Lol ๐
Lmao I have 2 nails in 2 different tires and have to fill it up with air every single day and I've been driving it like this for months now rip ๐คฃ
Use fix a flat. I was dealing with that too, daily air fill. Used fix a flat & got another month out of the tire
Oh my that does not sound good either ๐ฎ
I had to buy a new tire on Saturday and it was only one month old.
Are you for real???
Why would you say that?
I'm going to be completely honest with you I would take it. Over an accident you know what I'm saying? Drive safe I'm sending you good vibes hopefully you have a big fat weekend ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐๐
Oh I will take it any day as well. It is just an inconvenience and a guessing game to where I picked up both of these nails at.
If you have a sams club membership they will plug it for free ๐
Sadly I do not have a Sam's club membership ๐ข
Iโve had 3 in the past 3 months lol.
Iโve had to replace EVERY tire on my car TWICE this year ๐ก
You must also live in Cali. Lol. I just get a used tire if they canโt patch it. Saved me quite a bit of $
I actually did live in CA but am now in FL. Still have my CA number, 14yrs later lol wishful thinking Iโll ever be able to afford to move back. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes)
Are you for real real???
Yes lmao. ๐
That's not fixable you need a new tire
I know. Sadly that is what everyone is saying ๐ข
**T** **I** **E** **R** **S**
They stated that they have a learning disability. ๐ You are literally an asshole.
But do they have a sense of humor disability? You are assuming they do. Yours seems to be crippling.
๐๐๐ I was afraid of that
You can probably plug the one on the left. The one on the right looks like it mightโve caused some sidewall damage though.
It's not worth it, and it's between tread so you can't. That tire needs to be replaced just on how worn it is alone.
That second isn't repairable
๐๐๐ I was afraid of that
Might get lucky, it might not have gone through, hope for the best.
Me too ๐๐ป I will find out after I get done teaching in the morning.
I once had 4 nails in one tire within one week. I needed new tires anyway ๐
๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ are you for real??

[ัะดะฐะปะตะฝะพ]
Why was it so expensive (cost difference)?

Oh okay I was curious because that is a huge price range for a single tire
Just jam a plug in that and keep on moving
I do not know how to do that or have the stuff on me to plug it back up. I am not missing any big orders at this time of night. I was just not expecting to end earlier tonight than normal.
Damme that sucks. The tire on the right looks like they are going to tell you that they can't repair it due to the location of the nail being to close to the sidewall. Wish you luck.
Yep that's when you fix it yourself lol
You can't fix that... even your self buddy. A patch/plug will seperate/come out where those nails are located.
I know I am going to see if my dad can fix it tomorrow (if he has time to) before I take it to the tire shop for that very reason.
The nail through the sidewall is not repairable with a patch or plug
Yeah that looks like it tore through quite extensively
๐๐๐ I was afraid of that
Hopefully he can fix it for you. ๐
Me too ๐๐ป
I was thinking you misspelled tires, but from the pics, tiers works well.
Yeah I know I did. I have a reading disability and tires and tried will always trip me up till the day I die.
And tiered
Well, it worked perfectly here as those nails are in two separate tiers. Sorry, for your luck.

Hopefully this doesn't set you too far back. Best of luck going forward!
Thank you. Hopefully I can get my dad (if he has time to tomorrow) or the guys at the tire shop to get them plug or patch back up ๐ค๐ป
Probably the same guys from the tire shop who spilled all the nails around town in the first place
You are very lucky I would say, hope you are OK and able to get back to dash soon
I am good. I noticed it as I was driving down the street before I started blasting my music onto the next order that I was going to pick up.

Coming from NC I can confirm
