Default HELP! I need tires
Anyone got a pair of 295/35-18 tires? I had a blow out today and no one seems to carry my size tire. I was quoted $573 for 295/35-18 Toyo T1-R, but they cant get them until wednesday. Im located in Poway, North County San Diego

If you bought the $20 road hazard feature, would just gave you a new tire right?

I worked at a tire shop before and we wouldn't repair holes that big because it would be unsafe, So that leaves patching it out of the question.
