Just a short time ago, I bought a set of General Altimax Heavy Load 205/70/R14 M.S tires for my 88 GL. Yesterday I picked up a 1/8 inch dia. nail through the tire just at the very edge of the tread of the tire - to the outside of that part that sits on the road. Around here - no one wants to touch it for a repair. What is the opinion of The List tire gurus about repairing such damage as a nail puncture at that location. I hate to give up this brand new tire. I pulled the tire - but not the nail. The tire never has gone flat, even as I write now - it's maybe lost a pound of pressure. I drove for 25 miles on that tire before finding the nail quite by accident. Thanks. -- John Rodgers Clayartist and Moldmaker 88'GL VW Bus Driver Chelsea, AL Http://www.moldhaus.com
