Chef Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 So this almost ruined tomorrow’s hunt. I hit a screwdriver on rt 80 in NJ the tire is not patchable. I called 15 different places and no one could find my tire. Which is crazy because it was the tire that came on my 2019 ram. I didn’t have a full size spare only a donut and didn’t want to drive to camp and back on it. I just bit the bullet and bought 4 new tires. Getting installed at 8 tomorrow and I’ll still get in the afternoon hunt. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkI thought about it but that think looked abused when I pulled it down from under the truck. I’ve never seen a ram not come with a full size spare im kind of confused Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve863 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 You are replacing all 4 tires on a 2019 vehicle?? Did you get a second opinion on repairing that tire? These guys want to sell tires, so they will tell you it can't be fixed even if it CAN be fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turkeyfeathers Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 (edited) Had you hit an X head screwdriver that probably wouldn't have happened @Jeremy K has a great screwdriver story Edited September 30, 2019 by turkeyfeathers 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys want to sell tires, so they will tell you it can't be fixed even if it CAN be fixed.Yea I had 3 different people who told me it couldn’t be fixed. I happened to pull over right in front of a body shop when I got the flat. The nice man who came out with his hydraulic jack and changed my tire for free even told me it couldn’t be fixed. It was a huge slit. I called 4 tire shops and 3 dealerships and they all told me over a week to get the tire and even that was a maybe.

mowin Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 (edited) I would have gotten a different tire manufacturer in the same size. But only 1 tire, wouldn't care less if it didn't match.

Did you also notice that the stock tires on your ram are some cheap Korean crap Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moho81 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I’m shocked they aren’t giving full sized spares with trucks anymore. What if you where loaded or pulling a trailer. Now you have to rely on a smaller spare!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
