Vibes: Tire Issues

[jptruck]

So, I installed a completely new set of tires this time last year. They probably have less than 10,000 miles on them (this is my 3rd set of tires on my 2005 LR3 BTW). I have a slow leak today and take it in to get the nail pulled. I find out that it's not just one nail, but three and this is the same tire I had repaired last summer. Tire guy tells me that one more nail in that tire, and I'm unfixable.

Anyone find a set of nail-proof tires yet? I've got to get out of the construction business. Slow as **** and costs me $900 a year in tires. Sorry, just ranting.

i would suggest you find some tires that come in LT vs pmetric. The tread on LT tires is deeper and usually the tires have more plys as well. I had the Hankook atm RF10s on a previous vehicle and never had a flat with them.

They come in 19"? To my tire's credit, they aren't going flat at least. Replacing all four because one is a tire magnet is expensive.
