Omg My 1st Accident

[R34NRG]

i POPPED MY TIRE.

and its so bs.....some c**t left a massive rock (and i mean massive) behind a curve as i was turning (u so could not see dat shit) and bang...my tire pops. tired to put my spare tire on but the thing was bolted down like no tm (proberly with a gun) so i had no chance with the jack and tools to get it off. had to tow it away for 320 bux.

now its sittin at home with half the tire fallen off.

guys wat do i do.....i no i need a new tire but how much does that stuff cost? i dont want some dodgy tire i want the original ones if i can.

own a fully stock R34 17"

i no its just a flat tire but ffs its exspensive

[_8OO5TED_]

thats unlucky, sorry to hear....

any damage to the rim?

17" tyres, depending on quality would start from around $120ish Id say, not an entirely EXPENSIVE exercise.....

[AMS]

Meh I blew a tyre..$250 for mine though

[R34NRG]

no major dmg to the rims just chips....nothing really

starting from 120? well i really want the same type of tires i have on the other 3 wheels or it will look a lil weird. can i get the factory tires somewhere? and how much? 120 sounds like a dodgy tire lol

where do u sugest i get my tires from?

yeah you would pay upwards of $200 for a decent tyre probably. im in perth mate, so i would know where to get a tyre where you are, sorry.

[Lazy-Bastard]

can i get the factory tires somewhere?

Give Nissan a call

dunno if i'd be keen to replace it with exactly the same thing if it's prone to "pop" the first time you run over something...

now might also be a good time to go all the way around the car and check if the rest of the wheel nuts to see ify ou can budge them to save the same thing happening again.

dude if you hit any Massive rock there is a good chance you will scrwe your tyre it wont matter what you have... also i would be checking you have not cracked you rim...

one other thing i dont understand why you must have all 4 same tyres ??? it's not going to make you uncool like anyone will even care or be able to see when you are driving past them at 80kms an hour

one last thing the tyres on them no would not be "nissan factory items" your would be 7 or 8 years old and would have been replaced a couple of times within this time. probably also at compliance so ring around a few shops and see if they have the same ones you have.

i hope you were trying to undo the nuts whilst the car was still on the ground. you need to loosen the nuts whilst it's on the ground. then jack it up and take them off. otherwise you've got no chance.

seem obvious!

but good point!

wat urs brand of the tyres on it?

and offset, and i can tell u how much it cost for each!

[SECURITY]

get a 2nd hand tyre for $50 from anywhere to get you going.

[siddr20]

Lol dude think you a little lost..

Check your tyre (the rubber) sidewall and see which brand it is.. Its not that hard..

Then go a tyre shop and ask them if they sell the same brand..

Thats all to it..

You dont have to take your whole car there..

Take the poped tyre with the rim, and they will do the rest for you..

Then come back home, and fit it on..

17's aint that expensive these days....

i guess thats the best choice....thanks guys

320 bux for a tow? Ouch, was it from Melbourne to Geelong? lol.

And you should of been able to get those bolts off, even if they are done properly with a gun, assuming the threads on the studs weren't stuffed.

[Baz]

I would always run the same tyre as the one on the opposing side of the car to avoid pulling and braking problems. Last thing you need is a tyre to act in a manner different to the opposing tyre as anything could really happen.

dude if you hit any Massive rock there is a good chance you will scrwe your tyre it wont matter what you have... a

Ya reckon?

I live not too far from a tip, and theres shite all over the roads all the time... I've hit all sorts of things at all types of speeds, ranging from rocks, bricks, lumps of wood, chunks of metal, branches, small animals, fallen road signs, and pot holes big enough that the council could charge entry as a swimming pool if they filled it with water.... from my experiences the wheel itself is more likely to cop damage before the tyre, but I'll just put it down to luck that I haven't had damage to either thus far.

Having the correct tyre pressure may also have something to do with this... not many people seem to care about correct tyre pressures any more.

[leech_]

lol i am really surprised then oh well i guess they are built tough which is good because i have a set of 34 rims on my car... though i am yet to hit anything like what you have listed below

Compared to the cost of owning an R34 the cost of one tyre is negligable.

Take your wheel off and take it to Bob Jane and tell them what you want, I'm sure they could organise it for you. It's a good idea to keep the same tyres on the same axle as each tyre will have different characteristics and grip levels

[lordsnipe]

it is illegal to have different tyres on the same axle.

if you can't get back the same tyre, you'll have to get 2 new tyres.
