Anyone located near Fullerton, CA? Help!
 
Hey guys, im in a desperate situation and I need some help. One of my tires got messed up really badly due to a pothole and has holes in it. I need to replace my rear passenger tire and really can't afford to buy a new one and pay for the installation (just got laid off wed). If anyone has a stock tire they arent using or have for sale (cheap) I need this ASAP. I am located in Orange county, CA. Please help! Thanks:bow::bow::respekt: I would be indebted to you, I just need some time to get back on my feet!

i have a spare 245/40/17 with a nail in it, not sure if it can help. but it's there if you need to run on until you can replace it. i have a friend you can take it to in anaheim, just pay for the installation (10 dollars, and for whatever it costs to patch it)

Thanks for the help. I would need the tire to at least keep me going for 2-3 months. Would a patched up tire last me that long?

File a claim and (hopefully) get reimbursed for the damage that the pothole accrued. If it's city negligence and not some asshole purposely digging a pothole for drivers to run over, then you should be able to get your money back.

I was definitely going to do this, and probably will. However I still need a temporary tire so I can drive!
