just buy plug kit from walmart and plug it yourself. not like you going to take the corrola to the track, should be fine. i plug my tires all the times, even on the side wall.

i had the tire hazard protection which i didn't originally agree to. i was prorated the tire and paid $69 for the tire and $15 for the new hazard protection. msrp was $110 so it wasn't that bad. i'm definitely not thrilled

Looking like a boss with mechanics gloves while changing a rolla's tire on the side of the road = noojin.

Just missing the pit crew Nomex suit and helmet with Team NNR (No Nonsense Racing) Logo.
they wouldn't have time to see me. it took me literally 5 minutes to do. i was thinking of all the grown men i see on the side of the road on the way to/from work with flat tires with their phones to their heads. granted i had a breaker bar, extension and socket. still it's easy as ***** to do.

he just wanted to differentiate between the original and the generic.

i seriously thought about that but was unsure of how reliable it would be. i do drive the corolla pretty hard. cornering speed in a light and tight car is a lot of fun.

should have plugged it and put that tire in the rear. done

fyi, my old NT05 had a hole so big i had to use two plugs in one hole to keep air in it. and ran 10 track days on it, but it wasn't near the side wall though.

I never *****ed about having to swap tires at the track. I'd do it out of necessity before I electively choose to.

My point earlier was that how do you think the guy that calls roadside assistance to change his flat feels when some dude shows up in a Chevy Cavalier with little to no tools and uses the stuff that the guy already had in his trunk from the factory? I see it at least twice a week along I95 by the airport: a man changing another man's tire for him.
