$145 for 2 nails

[Bimmerfanatik]

First a nut that cost $150, now a couple of nails that cost $145?

I'm buying stock in Home Depot - sounds like things are on the rise in the hardware department....

Hmm, that is funny because the BMW dealership does the rope patch and warranties the original tires after that. They also do those for free.

Of course this isnt on my car, the 330. However I have raced on tires with a rope patch in them and they work just fine. :?

Well, the thing is, rope plugs work ok (if theyre done right) but they do void speed ratings. Thats according to the goodyear tire and rubber company, but what would they know? fuck 'em, thats what i say.

when I was working at sear auto center patching cost around 17 dollars, we used patch plugs there, and at tires plus we used really cheap shit patches, that shit that looks like beef jerky does not like any form of spirited driving, ask me how I know but I know that there is a certain risk patching sidewalls or even shoulders. Patch plugs are pretty reliable even though some say they split the cords, I dont like just the patch and on all of the ones that I did I went back over it with a good coat of bead sealer.
