NEED TIRE BY TOMORROW (Thurs 9/1) NJ/NY AREA Bridgestone Dueler H/P Sport 315/35 R20

I'm desperate. Leaving for a weeken roadtrip early Friday morning and I need to change the tire before I leave. I just pulled a 3" nail from it and its bleeding air. SO PISSED! I can't seem to find one in any of the (12 or so) local tire shops I've called. Too late to call any BMW dealers as they are closed for the day.

If anyone has, or knows of anyone that has please contact me via PM or email:


tonypap (at) verizon (dot) net


If anyone does actually lead me to one I will send them out a special thank you gift for helping me out.


Thanks in advance!

Did you drive on deflated tire at all?
Maybe you can just patch it?

Runflats can't be patched.

Check on Tirebuyer.com They had stock I believe, or maybe could refer you to someone local who does.

Hm...
This is the reason you are frustrated

Done this many times...
Patch outlived the tire tread
As long as your RFT is not much driven deflated - you're ok

$5 - done deal
