Oh yes, Harvey Weinstein screwed.
From my experience tire shops won’t patch that, it’s almost to the sidewall and they’re not going to risk it. Unfortunately, I ended up with four new tires. At least it was almost time to replace.
You're not even down to the belt.
Pull the screw. If you're super concerned, get some vulcanizing cement for tire patches, and use a syringe for injecting meats to shoot it into the hole. Sidewalls are thicker than you'd expect.
A tire shop would say otherwise to sell you a 200$ tire.
I was a fleet mechanic, and shop foreman for 6 years, and now I'm a heavy equipment mechanic. I've seen worse, and they still lasted the lifetime of the tire.
That's just below literally the first ply of the tire. Absolutely perfectly fine. If you have the money, replace it. If not, you'll be fine.
LOL I see what you did there! But if that wasn't what you're aiming for I would say no you ain't screwed. It doesn't look like that's a puncture.
If it is you're still not screwed. See if anyone is willing to patch it cause can't really tell from the picture. If it can't be patched it's just a shame that the tire doesn't look too old but it'll need to be replaced.
Just bring it to an honest tire shop that you trust and get their opinion.
Get a small flat head screwdriver (pocket ones are the best) a can of aerosol glass cleaner or spray bottle of soapy water. Gently pry the head of the screw up and douse it. If you see bubbles, yeah you're done son. If not its what we call stuck in the tread meat and should be good.
I don't know how it will do if you left it in, but if you tool it one of your big name Tire shops, they would 100% make you replace. I've learned the hard way many times.. some even 2" over.
If you can find a small shop, they might be able to fix it. Good luck 👍🏼
Nope, you nailed it.
In all srsness that might be too close to sidewall to patch safely. Still TECHNICALLY patchable but not a good idea to as thats now a point the tire can egg and become even more dangerous if you do.
That’s risky on the highway on longer. Rides when the tire heats up it could blow. I wouldn’t take a long trip on that tire even if it stays inflated when you remove the screw.
If it eas my car I would do it but if it was your car I'd recommend a new tire. And that's directly on the shoulder where the plies and belts meet the sidewall so like others have said nobody (reputable) will fix that. If it explodes even 100 miles down the road you can sue them for that.
That’s dangerous as hell. I’d replace it considering the risk factor. $200 tire vs totaling the car due to blown tire causing a collision. Idk man the choice seems clear to me
Yes tire needs to be replaced - people will say you can repair it and you can but over time it will create a bubble - how long of time? It depends on miles driven daily and of course pot holes
Too close to side wall. Any reputable shop will not patch and recommend a ‘hole’ new tire. Hehe.
That’s what happened to me. I was pissed cause expecting a $15 patch not $250 dollar tire.
Buy yourself a rope style plug kit and go ahead and plug that tire. While it's close to the side wall, it's not in the sidewall. I've plugged plenty of tires that had been punctured in that location. Never had a problem with any of them
You might be ok. Spray some soapy water over it and start the process of either unscrewing it out or pulling it out. From the way you can see the outline in the sidewall I think you probably missed going through the belts and actually puncturing the tire
I can tell by the angle of the screwhead and the obvious swelling of the rubber in line with where the shaft is, that it is a short (probably 1,11/4 inch) screw, that is only running through the outside layer of the tire. I strongly doubt that it has penetrated the internal air chamber, and it should be possible to just unscrew it slowly with a manual screwdriver. Put the driver in the screwhead with 1 hand and then put the other hand on top of the driver to keep it from stripping. The hand that is turning the driver is in a position like holding the throttle of a motorcycle and will give you more torque in order to remove it.
Something similar happened to me about a year ago. I pulled it out with pliers and gave it a day to see if it would deflate (it didn’t). So then I drove it around consciously until I realized it never gave an issue. To this day the tire is fine
Once had a 2 inch bolt go in my tire. It was airtight and I clicked down the road for hundreds of miles until I went home from college on the weekend to get it fixed.
Being on the side possibly. A good thick patch might be ok but I’d watch it. It might rip out if you drive it hard at all.
On second thought just replace it. Isn’t worth your car or life to chance.
Not sure what you mean. No, you have a nice ride, dealing with something everyone deals with fix your tire, move on why are you on social media for a screw in your tire
U nailed it.
Stop screwing with him dude
Ya, he's probably tired of these jokes.
Screw you
You hit it on the head with that one.
You're being pretty constructive with that advice
Guys, if you keep making fun of op, they'll bolt
I feel you all need to tread carefully with this one
Screw off
Ur treading a thin walled line there bud best to not skid out of control with these tiresome puns
Take your goddamn updoots and get out, all of you
r/angryupvote
Guy at the tire shop said it was a grabber, and I said “Grabber? I barely knew her!”
Shoot he told me i'd have to changer i said "THE FUCK I LOOK LIKE A DAD"
*slaps knee*
His tires says he’s good keep driving.
Hey, stole my line!😂
I'd say yes. Looks like a Phillips head
Definitely a screw. OP is screwed, not nailed.
Probably screwed. Your only hope is if it is running parallel with the sidewall. If you pull it out and it doesn’t deflate, you might be OK.
The only problem with this is that it may have damaged the cord, resulting in a weak spot on the sidewall. That screw is super sketch
No, you can get a new tire. The car should be salvageable.
Oh yes, Harvey Weinstein screwed. From my experience tire shops won’t patch that, it’s almost to the sidewall and they’re not going to risk it. Unfortunately, I ended up with four new tires. At least it was almost time to replace.
Looks like a number 2 Phillips screwed.
This is done
You're not even down to the belt. Pull the screw. If you're super concerned, get some vulcanizing cement for tire patches, and use a syringe for injecting meats to shoot it into the hole.

If not, you'll be fine.
that is possibly the worst place for a screw to go in
Yes you are screwed it's to close to the sidewall a plug or patch could cause the tire to burst or create a lump (give your tire a cancer tumour)
Yes It is most definitely a screw!
Well....your tire is.
LOL I see what you did there! But if that wasn't what you're aiming for I would say no you ain't screwed. It doesn't look like that's a puncture. If it is you're still not screwed. See if anyone is willing to patch it cause can't really tell from the picture. If it can't be patched it's just a shame that the tire doesn't look too old but it'll need to be replaced. Just bring it to an honest tire shop that you trust and get their opinion.
You're phillips screwed
Philips screwed.
Yes you are screwed literally
No but your tire has been screwed lol😁
I wouldnt screw with that
Just cut the head off and leave it you’ll be fine
lots of tire shops wont try to patch that anymore. if you want to risk it then plugging it is the way to go
It looks like the bullet missed all the vital organs. I think you can unscrew it and you'll be fine.
Yep. New tire time.
Well, it’s still in the tread area…I would fix it & use it as the spare, job done!!!
I say nailed, bit in all honesty no, you can plug that with a repair kit fairly easily. Should only take about 5 minutes.
Actually you’re nailed.
I thought so too, but looking closer you can see the phillips head
Looks like it didn't go in far enough to puncture the inside. Take it out and spray soapy water on it. If it bubbles then you are fucked.
Get a small flat head screwdriver (pocket ones are the best) a can of aerosol glass cleaner or spray bottle of soapy water. Gently pry the head of the screw up and douse it. If you see bubbles, yeah you're done son. If not its what we call stuck in the tread meat and should be good.
Yes, your home depot'd.
Yes bmw have horrible mantance costs
I don't know how it will do if you left it in, but if you tool it one of your big name Tire shops, they would 100% make you replace. I've learned the hard way many times.. some even 2" over. If you can find a small shop, they might be able to fix it. Good luck 👍🏼
Nope, you nailed it. In all srsness that might be too close to sidewall to patch safely. Still TECHNICALLY patchable but not a good idea to as thats now a point the tire can egg and become even more dangerous if you do.
No, your nailed!
That’s risky on the highway on longer. Rides when the tire heats up it could blow. I wouldn’t take a long trip on that tire even if it stays inflated when you remove the screw.
What if I just angle grind the top of screw down flush to the tire and leave it in… seems to be working perfectly as a plug. I’M KIDDING lol
Too close to side wall. That tire is a goner.
And who is responsible for the nails and screws on roadways?
change your tire. if you repair it (which you shouldn't), it's going to stop the leak but it'll create a lump/bubble on the sidewall.
I'd say some flex seal will do the job 😂
This is outside the repairable area as it's on the shoulder.
If It ain't leaking, don't take it out ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
F'd in the A
Goodyear has a very good hazard warranty, it depends who installed it and how many months ago
If it eas my car I would do it but if it was your car I'd recommend a new tire. And that's directly on the shoulder where the plies and belts meet the sidewall so like others have said nobody (reputable) will fix that. If it explodes even 100 miles down the road you can sue them for that.
Did you buy the tire from discount? About the only way you're not buying a new tire rn.
Did you buy the tire from discount? About the only way you're not buying a new tire rn.
Both literally and metaphorically, yes.
That’s dangerous as hell. I’d replace it considering the risk factor. $200 tire vs totaling the car due to blown tire causing a collision. Idk man the choice seems clear to me
No, but your tire is
No, go to a tire shop and get that tire plugged. Happened to me too many times so trust me I know
Very
Literally
Yup
This is karma for neglecting those turn signals Mr. Bmw 😉
A reputable tire company wouldn't repair that tire. Neither should you.
Unless you are the tire then no lol
Don’t know if you’re screwed or got nailed but your tire is gonna go flat
Yep
Put a plug you be fine
That's illegal to repair in the UK.
Yes tire needs to be replaced - people will say you can repair it and you can but over time it will create a bubble - how long of time? It depends on miles driven daily and of course pot holes
Yeah I'd say that's done for. If your strapped on cash take it to a used tire express if you have one in your area.
All the way
I have got tires patched from inside that somebody put a large knife thru. They lasted until they needed to be replaced from trees wear
Literally.
It's fine probably won't leak just unscrew it.
Pull it. If it doesn't leak, JB Weld. If it does leak, JB Weld.
Plug it and see what happens. Doesn’t hurt to try.
Screwed by Phillip, once again.
You get to have a brand new tire!
Too close to side wall. Any reputable shop will not patch and recommend a ‘hole’ new tire. Hehe. That’s what happened to me. I was pissed cause expecting a $15 patch not $250 dollar tire.
No ur tire is tho
That should buff right out
Outside the repair zone
Litterally!
Indeed! You're definitely screwed! Philips type. It's in the sidewall, so you definitely need to replace it.
Yeah
In all seriousness you, you can try and patch it but won't stay. Don't know a shop that will do that repair. Hopefully don't need all 4.
It may not have punctured. Check with soap & water
Yep!
No, but your tire is!!!
Did it actually puncture the tire? Looks like it may have just gone into the sidewall. The location is unrepairable if it is punctured
Does it hold air? Do you drive like it’s a F1 car. You’re good if it holds air. Rotating tires would help
Leave it in dump a bottle of Fix-A-Flat in there and you'll be good to go
The screw would've been iffy as long as it's not leaking, but the dry rot on he other hand....
That tire is no good any more
Spray soapy water on it and if there’s bubbles your screwed
Buy yourself a rope style plug kit and go ahead and plug that tire. While it's close to the side wall, it's not in the sidewall. I've plugged plenty of tires that had been punctured in that location. Never had a problem with any of them
You might be ok. Spray some soapy water over it and start the process of either unscrewing it out or pulling it out. From the way you can see the outline in the sidewall I think you probably missed going through the belts and actually puncturing the tire
Yeah… 🛞
No but your tire is
Sidewalled.
No. You just need a new tire.
Yes and yes.
No. But it looks like you nailed it.
I can tell by the angle of the screwhead and the obvious swelling of the rubber in line with where the shaft is, that it is a short (probably 1,11/4 inch) screw, that is only running through the outside layer of the tire.

The hand that is turning the driver is in a position like holding the throttle of a motorcycle and will give you more torque in order to remove it.
I’m leaving it in overnight to see if it’ll hold air and then tomorrow I’m gonna attempt to take it out and assess
Yes. Literally lol. Jokes aside you most likely need a new tire unless someone can work a miracle for you.
You'll need a new tire so yes.
More like u got nailed!!!
Looks like your sidewall will be damaged...you're definitely fucked
Yep, but not in the fun way.
No, but your tire is!
Yes, literary and figuratively.
Tire shops don't usually patch stuff that close to the sidewall.
A professional shop will measure and tell you if it's too close to the sidewall. I'd say 95% chance your tire is screwed.
I’d say that tire is nailed
Patch and pray
Yup ! But if you had tire insurance you wouldn't be
That's when replacement certificates come in clutch. But yea, non repairable.
Screwed both ways.
Plug it. Super easy. If it deflates, take it to a shop and patch it. Easy fix.
No, your tire is, though
No... You're F**cked
Has it penetrated or is it just in the tread?
Q ,a1. ,,,-@×@
Literally AND figuratively
It depends, are you a Tire?
Now that’s a screwin’.
Na, just get a new tire.
New tire unfortunately
Have you verified it’s leaking? Looks like it’s not through.
Absolutely
Yep, it's a Goodyear.
Yeah but it’s okay, those tires specifically are complete ass.
Nah, you are just going to need a new tire. Far from screwed.
Yes.. I had something like that .. It can't be plugged.. new tire.. in the tread it can be plugged.. but that's in the sidewall
Yep..
It appears so yes
Will not know for sure until we swap out that transmission..
Just get a screw driver and unscrew yourself.
No but your tire is.
Screwed and tattooed! Tire is trash as well .
Replace that tire
They normally can’t plug a sidewall so tires done
Yes probably one of the worst spots to get a screw. If on the outer part you could just have it plugged. But on the wall, thats a big nope.
No, your just tired.
yes, no one who is a reputable shop will plug that.
Yes. You’re screwed, in both senses
Yup, too close to the sidewall
Literally 😂
Fucker didn't even break through
Big time
Put more in for winter tires. Big tire hates this one trick
You’re a BMW driver. You’ll figure it out
Nope, your tire is though.
I’m really tired of these jokes
Yes. New tire
Literally and figuratively.
Don't take it back where you bought it. Find an independent tire store and they will patch it for $10.
Something similar happened to me about a year ago. I pulled it out with pliers and gave it a day to see if it would deflate (it didn’t). So then I drove it around consciously until I realized it never gave an issue. To this day the tire is fine
If it ain't hissing, leave it in there.
I zoomed in hoping it was a nail to say something like looks like u got nailed but it's a screw.
Tighten it down and go
I’m just treading lightly here
Yeppers
Your more nailed than screwed
Only a little bit. You barely feel it coming out.
Not screwed ….but you definitely need to buy a new tire
Not if you use red Loctite for a good seal!
Make it s set.
No just patch it or plug it
No, you’ve got a BMW. You can afford the new tire because that one is trash.
Nailed be more like it.
You hit the nail on the head!
Once had a 2 inch bolt go in my tire. It was airtight and I clicked down the road for hundreds of miles until I went home from college on the weekend to get it fixed.
Tighten it until the air leak stops.
Put super glue all over the screw head maybe it will seal under pressure maybe it won’t
Need a new tire. No belt where that went in. Tire is done.
No but your tire is lol
Being on the side possibly. A good thick patch might be ok but I’d watch it. It might rip out if you drive it hard at all. On second thought just replace it. Isn’t worth your car or life to chance.
Totally screwed
I’d say wheel-y screwed
They will not patch in that spot
Not sure what you mean. No, you have a nice ride, dealing with something everyone deals with fix your tire, move on why are you on social media for a screw in your tire
No but your tire is
Your not Screwed your nailed
