1. Jada Wood Says: Is there an effective way to fix it?

2. Trey Reed Says: Hi there. You can try this thing called Fix A Flat as a temporary solution, but you should take it to a tire store and get it plugged. Be sure not to just pull it out or you might get a flat tire pretty quickly

3. cory l Says: go right ahead and put fix a flat in your tire and go to the dealership and tell them you want your tire balanced... see how fast that mechanic comes out and starts yelling at you its hilarious until it happens to you what you need to figure out is if it's in your tread (at least 1 inch away from the edge of your tire) or if its in your side wall (less than 1 inch away from the edge OR in the side of your tire) if it's on your sidewall you can't repair sorry new tire if it's in the middle then yes you can repair.

4. Chris Says: Eight bucks at your local shop to fix it. As the others say, DO NOT use Fix A Flat or something like that. You may be able to drive on it with the nail in it long enough to get to the shop. Also, don't count on warranty help with it unless you bought a road hazard warranty specially with your tire purchase.

5. james Says: okay first off fix a flat makes dealers mad it is highly flamable and it blows up easly when changing tire. if u use anything like that u need to tell them and put the sticker on the valve stem like ur suppose to. ok well if u leave the nail in there u can drive it to any tire shop and pay to have it patched or plugged. or u can pull the nail out and just squirt green slime in it. it is just as bad as fix a flat but it doesnt combust as bad in my expiernces with it. but they both are bad to use really but they willl patch the hole and its only like 5 dollars at walmart. or u could attempt to plug it yourself. the kit is 3 dollars i think? and u get many plugs incase u do it again. in all conclussion ur tire will be fine but if it is brand new it should be warantied? so they should fix it for free anyway so take it back to were u got it from...

6. ChrisF Says: plug or a patch, or if you have road hazard then the place you got them will fix it for free

P.S. DO NOT USE FIX-A-FLAT that stuff is horrible and will really piss off the person who has to fix your tire

7. Kelly Says: If you just bought it, take it back to the place you bought it. They might be able to either replace it or patch it.

8. Patrick Says: Take it to a good tire shop they will either patch or plug it if it is repairable.
