Early this morning (I think), I ran over a nail in the back passenger side tire of our 2011 Mazda3. But I didn't know right away that this had happened.
My wife and I then drove our car in the early afternoon, and noticed a droning noise on the highway and had to pull off the road to get this fixed via CAA. The tired is shredded so obviously needs replacing.
I would prefer going to my local garage -- whom I trust -- but it might take them some time to find the correct tire and one of similar tread wear to our other tires. I don't want to go to the dealer unless I really have to.
So, one of my options is to simply have our snow tires put on now, although September is a little early! Then, in the meantime, I could search around to find the correct tire and one that is worn similar to the others.
Does anyone have any suggestions of where I could fined a used tire or if my snow tire idea is crazy? I can look up the tire numbers if that helps. Thanks in advance.
