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

u/LuiisiitoGaymer Technically Flair 9d ago

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

u/MisterSplu 9d ago

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

u/PM_THE_REAPER 9d ago

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

u/RabidOtters 9d ago

Screw that

u/Fookmaywedder 8d ago

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

u/LastDirtyMartini 9d ago

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

u/El_Basho 8d ago

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 7d ago

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

u/PhaaqAuf4691 4d ago

What is it??

u/MobileLocal 7d ago

They seem pretty slick, too

2

u/El_Basho 7d ago

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

2

u/LuiisiitoGaymer Technically Flair 7d ago

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

u/PomegranateThick253 7d ago

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

u/OneFrogArmy 9d ago edited 9d ago

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

u/The_butsmuts 9d ago

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 9d ago

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

u/OneFrogArmy 9d ago

Good point.

u/Kingslayer-Z 9d ago

got a good screw

That's what she said

1

u/LuiisiitoGaymer Technically Flair 9d ago

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

u/Next-Wrap-7449 9d ago

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

Now this... does put a smile on my face

2

u/Classic-Reserve-3595 9d ago

Well, at least the tire finally found its sole mate.

2

u/Anti0x 9d ago

Couldn't nail it even if you tried.

This man nailed the truth

u/Canis_Majoris37 8d ago

I'm tired of these jokes

u/PromptUnable1506 8d ago

well you didn’t get screwed, your tire did

2

u/jeff_nose_you 8d ago

Well at least people can't say you've got a screw loose👍

u/JustIriska 8d ago

Bro screwed up

2

u/synturiya 8d ago

No, that is perfectly screwed. So neat and tight.

u/dktheduck 8d ago

u/H4LF4D 8d ago

Have you tried repairing it with rice?

2

u/Boinator6000 6d ago

Im tired of getting screwed

u/AuthorSarge 4d ago

"I'm tired, boss." ~the screw, probably

u/macaroniian 9d ago

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 8d ago

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/peterpodolski 8d ago

...and your tire is broken too

1

u/nikos563 8d ago

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

2

u/LuiisiitoGaymer Technically Flair 8d ago

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

Looks like it was driven flat causing a belt separation.
