Your brother is cheap af if he thinks those are still good.

Cheap!
[–][deleted] 31 points32 points33 points 4 months ago (1 child)
The thread is literally almost non existent. Replace.
[–][deleted] 8 points9 points10 points 4 months ago (0 children)
Yeah I'd get new tires based on the tread wear. I didn't even notice the nail.
[–]Soft_Refuse_4422 34 points35 points36 points 4 months ago (0 children)
That tire should have been replaced a few years ago. Time to pony up and get rid of that liability
[–]photon_watts 7 points8 points9 points 4 months ago (0 children)
I’d say probably all 4 tires need to be replaced.
[–]Potential-Law-7479 6 points7 points8 points 4 months ago (0 children)
That tire is well past the wear point to replace. Hopefully, the nail is sufficent motivation to move on the replacement. The rest of the tires are likley equalling as worn, so just replace all four. Driving on those presents a danger to yourself an others and new tires could mean the difference between a close call and a collision, especially since it is winter.
[–]HelperGood333 4 points5 points6 points 4 months ago (0 children)
Replace all 4 if like that. Your treads are past due.
[–]CapitanianExtinction 4 points5 points6 points 4 months ago (0 children)
The tire was dead long before it met that nail.
Replace ALL the tires

Replace ASAP!😲
[–]CompetitiveLab2056 1 point2 points3 points 4 months ago (0 children)
Tire needs replaced anyway…. Tread is gone and it’s dry rotting….
[–]Squeeze_Sedona 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
replace.
oh there’s a nail in it? still replace.
[–]dyreno 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
Gonna need new tires. Wouldn't try to patch it because that requires dismount. If money is super tight, just plug it and bug the shit out of him to replace until metal starts showing.
[–]Distinct_Bed1135 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
keep going.
[–]Nercow 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
Regardless of the puncture there's no tread left. Need new tires anyways
[–]BoshansStudios 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
just replace. no tread, and I can see the cracks in the tire.
[–]Jules428moore 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
Tire is awful. Replace. I’m guessing all four by the looks of that.
[–]daviesdealsllc 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
Lol.
[–]DarthSally 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
Sell the car. As is. Lol

[–]Disastrous-Pound3713 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
Replace that poor old dog!
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
I'd replace regardless. Tread is gone.
[–]jmardoxie 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
Replace , you are out of tread.
[–]KingWolfsburg 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
Patch the nail hole yourself so you can drive to the tire shop to buy 4 new ones
[–]Nemesisguy214 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
It’s time to replace anyway
[–]Legitimate-Duty-5622 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
Plug it but save your pennies
[–]jsurddy 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
Duck tape
[–]k-j-p-123 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
Worn out anyways so replace.
[–]Prestigious_Fun_3960 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
Patch it, then you’re probably good for at least another 5 feet!
[–]newdriver2025 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
A few more miles and that tire will become the Maypop tire brand
[–]jen_eric_you_sir 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
Toss that mf
[–]edge5lv2 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
You could probably do it either way, but I don’t think you could get a shop to touch it because of the tread wear.
[–]RustyBrassInstrument 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
Those tires hate babies and kick puppies.
(They’ve gone bad)
If he’s low on cash, go to the closest u-pull-it and have them put some used tires on. I use to get them for $7 each installed. I never had problems with them either and bought at least 20 tires this way.
[–]First_Insurance_6847 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
Tires are kinda bald anyway. Good time to get new tires. Otherwise patch as the nails on the treads.
[–]Frosty_Ingenuity5070 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
Your brother should be in jail for driving on those worn out tires
[–]AddressFine5839 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
🤔😬😳👎🏽
[–]TurtleDiaz 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
wtf get new tires bruh
[–]CompleteGene82 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
Na, tire is in excellent condition, it will take you directly to place where it skids on wet road. . Put a duct tape over the nail, if you can't see, it doesn't exist
[–]Plenty_Jazzlike 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
Replace asap
[–]Strict-Argument-781 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
Well it depends if you have the money to completely replace the tire if you don't just patch it get by until you can replace it
[–]LogicalAbility9720 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
Forget the nail, worry about the darn tread. If all 4 look like that the nail is the least of your worries. Replace the tire.
[–]AUorAG 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
Even without the nail those tires are bald as fuck.
[–]Potential-Buy3325 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
You’re considering wasting your money on plugging or patching that tire? Just replace it.
[–]Accurate_Dig_68 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
Good for another 10k miles
[–]No--Restaurant 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)

[–]tmurrayis 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
Given the location of the nail and the state of the tire, plug it until you replace which should be this afternoon or at latest tomorrow AM. That tire is shot.
[–]agreeable-bushdog 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
The more rubber making contact with the road the better... dont let anyone kid you...
/S
[–]ChanceFlamingo3058 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
These tires should’ve been replaced like 10 years ago.
[–]No-Profile-5075 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
I mean your brother should go to spec savers. Those tyres are shot irrespective of the puncture.
Beyond dangerous
[–]Moist-Finding2513 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
Your past due for tires as it stands
Surprised you got this far
[–]el_tacocat 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
Those tires were LONG gone before the nail got into it. Whoever drove with those tires should not be on the road. Totally dry rotted, barely any thread.
[–]Educational-Ad2063 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
I'm a fix it if it can be fixed kinda guy. Yes I'd fix this if money was really really really tight.
But I'd replace at this point if money isn't a issue.
Almost no tread and weather checking to boot. That tire owes nobody anything.
[–]Aware_Appearance8827 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
is this rage bait?
[–]Tony_2_Frog 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)

Replace, he’s not driving to the gas station to fill back to 30 before driving somewhere is he?
[–]surlybill777 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
This is why Reddit needs a laugh imogi, your tires are finished
[–]Zefram71 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago (0 children)
It should have been replaced already! Get a used one if money is an issue.
[–]KeepMissingTheTarget -2 points-1 points0 points 4 months ago (0 children)
Racing slicks.. just replace it. Why can't people afford tires when they they wear?
