What did you do to your FX / QX70 today?
- Thread starter pmanliu
- Start date
For a temporary/quick fix take the nail out and get a plug kit. Should be available at any local parts store. I use a plug-patch kit from http://www.nomar-secure.com/product_p/sp-stop-n-go%20gun.htm and swear by them. I mainly use them on motorcycle tires which shows a lot of trust in their product.
Switch to spare and take it to discount tires for a free repair. If its not a unique puncture like sidewall then they can repair like new. Do this before any repair yourself is my recommendation.
I got my tires from Firestone (desperate due to really bad and awkward tire wear) would you recommend going to them or discount tires is good?

And whats a quote for it being repaired? And a DT is right by my house so i wasn't going to even bother putting the spare on because of it.

They have always done it free for me even if I didn't buy the tire from there but I've bought many tires from them so not sure.
Looks like I'll be making a trip to Discount Tire tomorrow.

Trip wasn't bad. As much as i love my fx, the 7 hour drive wasnt fun at all. tired me out. I did discover how to bypass the ics to normal cruise control when i started freaking i had 6 hours to go and no cruise control haha.
Also next year snow tires are a must... Got stuck behind a dump truck in a 2 lane highway in the inner lane cause the outer lane was full of snow/slush and was scared to go into that lane and hydroplane. Also almost rear ended a audi q5 at the bottom of the hill. i was idling down with brakes...
He stop complaining about the lack of snow

LOL so true. WE got nothing here in Toronto. Had a huge smile once i got the the resort. Going back again the following weeeknd haha
finally was able to pick up my FX50 rims powder coated and got them installed and got some new lug nuts so that i won't have the same issue i had a month back. luckily the kid that installed my rim gave me some oem lug nut instead of using the ones that i bought online that are supposed to like oem lug nuts.
