wheel alignments and balancing question

goldTopDeluxe · 01-04-2012, 09:07 PM

okay - so I'm getting one run flat replaced today. the rear right hand side looks like it has a leak / puncture. Do i need to get all tyres re-aligned/balanced? Or just the one being replaced? trying to keep the service guys honest...

just the one, they might even try selling you a new tire for the other side too so they match.

also if its just a nail and it is in the tread, and you haven't driven on it while it was flat... you could get it plugged/patched. most big name tire shops will refuse, mom and pop places will do it. have them inspect the inside for damage and go from there.
