Thumbs down :tear: Flat tire....sigh.

Yesterday was my last final exam and therefore I haven't been able to drive and enjoy my car like I regularly would. Today, i wake up to a nice 70 degree day perfect for driving and letting the rx-8 loose. I get ready and pumped to go out to some stores so I jump in my car turn it on and I notice the tire pressure light is still on.....I get out of the car and voila! big mother f#@$ing screw in the rear left tire. There goes my day and 4 day vacation until the next term starts.

SOrry for the rant. I guess what I posted this for is what should I do? Can the tire be fixed or do i have to replace the tire. It just upsets me since my tires only have 10k miles on them and I payed 700 bucks for them.

thanks for listening!

Sorry to hear that, man... I doubt it is repairable, but depending on treadwear you might be able to replace just that tire. Similar thing happened to me a few weeks ago- my tires still had tread left, but not enough that I could replace just one. I decided to go with Kumho Ecsta MXs, which I like a lot so far.

edit: forgot to mention that this is my M3 I'm talking about; I am running Toyo T1-Rs on my 8, which I am also happy with.
