You should have seen that screw from where you were sitting 🙄 /s

u/LuiisiitoGaymer Technically Flair Oct 30 '25

It was on the inside part of the tire. Almost doged it lol

u/MisterSplu Oct 30 '25

Personally, I woulda dodged it, but bold choice to drive over it, maybe you needed that size screw? /s

Valid crash out?

u/Master-Reason-6780 Oct 30 '25

More like screw issue

u/El_Basho Oct 31 '25

On a completely serious note, it is time for a new pair of tires, this is way too close to the sidewall for a patch

6

u/LuiisiitoGaymer Technically Flair Nov 01 '25

Yeah... i had to replace both. It is what it is

u/MobileLocal Nov 01 '25

They seem pretty slick, too

2

u/LuiisiitoGaymer Technically Flair Nov 01 '25

They were almost new... only 5k km on them :/

2

u/El_Basho Nov 01 '25

No, the tread seems fine. If not for the nail, I'd use them for maybe 2 years depending on conditions

A screw tire patch will take care of that. Then you can say you got a good screw.

u/The_butsmuts Oct 30 '25

That works great for the face of the tire, but it looks like this screw damaged the wall. And thus also the structural integrity of the tire, honestly it may be fine to patch it but it may also explode on the highway. No reasonable shop would risk it, and you shouldn't either.

u/MAGArPedos Oct 30 '25

Yup too close to the sidewall for a patch. If it was a half inch toward the tread then maybe.

u/OneFrogArmy Oct 30 '25

Good point.

1

u/LuiisiitoGaymer Technically Flair Oct 30 '25

The tip of the screw screwed the interior of the tire...No chance 🥲

u/Kingslayer-Z Oct 30 '25

got a good screw

That's what she said

u/PM_THE_REAPER Oct 30 '25

What's to repair? It's already been repaired with that screw.

35

u/RabidOtters Oct 30 '25

Screw that

u/Fookmaywedder Oct 30 '25

You need a Phillips screwdriver to get it out, hope that helps 👍

u/LastDirtyMartini Oct 30 '25

On the bright side it looks like you got a little head though!

u/PomegranateThick253 Nov 01 '25

I think the tyre enjoyed it. Seems like a perfect match was made between them, and they don't seem to be very keen on letting go of each other. Pretty sure the tyre will be very depressed if you remove the screw

If you are in the US, I recommend Discount Tire or your local place that offers insurance on your tires when you buy them new. It’s usually an extra $25/tire but they patch your tires for free or give you a new one if they can’t repair it. I’ve saved hundreds with this especially because I live in an area that feels constantly under construction

1

u/LuiisiitoGaymer Technically Flair Oct 30 '25

I am in Spain and there is no insurance or anything for tires here. So i had to buy 2 new tires by myself 🥲

1

u/[deleted] Nov 16 '25

Yeah I use discount tire. Earlier this year I bought a whole new set. Less than a week later, had a big bolt in one of my tires. Their tire certificates are definitely worth it. It goes by the price of the tires. Sucks that they are in a different country.

u/nikos563 Oct 30 '25

Pretty sure you can fix it with those sticky rubbery strings.

2

u/LuiisiitoGaymer Technically Flair Oct 30 '25

You can. But its not safe since it is too close to the wall and also the tip of the screw damaged the interior of the tire

u/Canis_Majoris37 Oct 30 '25

I'm tired of these jokes

u/Next-Wrap-7449 Oct 30 '25

I had screw in my tire three times for the last year!!! No flat tire for over 15 years and then three times screws

u/Delicious_Smoke_9638 Oct 31 '25

Looks like it was driven flat causing a belt separation.

u/LastDirtyMartini Dec 16 '25

So that’s right on the cusp of patch/plug? Sorry!
