  1. NO .No.No.   get it fixed or buy a new one ... that could put in some real trouble .  

         Unsafe tires are just that .... unsafe ... why would you trust your life to a bad tire ,,... think about it ...  


  2. 2 hours sounds acceptable. How long do you plan to stay? Check the tire when close to destination and again before returning, then have tire fixed.

  3. Very simple..........its a bad idea no matter how small it is......

  4. Depends on the leak, under inflated tire will run hot and eventually you could get a blow out.

  5. Well no its not safe. But then again its safe. Hmm how to explain. Ah forget it. Most tire places will fix a leak for very little money to free. Why not get it fixed and Fotgetaboutit. If the tire is bald as a baby's butt then Hmm got a spare? Most tire places will fix a bald tire if you say you will be back later for new tires but naturally your not going to do that your going to go to a used tire place, perfectly good almost new tires are there. People wreck cars with good tires on them all the time and usually the tires were undamaged in the wreck. But LOL I have a lot of cars with slow leaks and I'm just to lazy to fix em I got an air compressor. Hey how about a can of fix a flat.. Miracle in a can..

  6. No, get it fixed. Period.

  7. sure it is. just be sure your spare is o.k.<<

  8. ..i wouldn't recommend it ...i had a spare on ..for about a month because i felt too cheap to buy a new one...it ended up blowing out on me and i ended up doing a 360...going down a hill seeing the incoming traffic....i think you should buy that new tire or fix that one at least..
