yet again another nail punctured a rear tire, this is now twice in 2 months.
the worst of luck, what the heck i have no idea!!
tire pressure monitor malfunction is going off like all hell right now.

so i need to replace the tire and at BMW these 315/35/20w rft's -- dunlop tires are $750 with service to replace.

anywhere i can get cheaper, what about non-rft's ?
Any recommendations that can help

I saw these
http://superbuytires.com/tires/model/Toyo/Proxes+ST+II/
315/35R20 28.7" $ 293
not to bad for non-rft of course i'd need to buy 2 to support the rear as the same.


what's the W mean in 20w ?

lsot and confused but seriously the price of these tires is killing me, i didnt get the tire insure, had no idea

thanks guys!

just professionally patch the tires dude. Nails no biggie unless they are on the sidewall. replacement is warranted only when you have a big bubble that is giving you a shimmy or there is a nail on the sidewall which cant be repaired safely. Nails can be patched safely everywhere. Save the $740 of the $750.

great! i'm going to take this approach, the sidewall is not damaged the nail is compacted right into the thread.
hopefully i can find a good place to do this
