Lol just borrow a jack from your co-worker or something. Someone preferably with a Toyota or Honda <- normal jack , it'll take less time and less cash doing it yourself unless you're already an AAA member. Tell em you'll buy them a round of beer next time or something , that always works for me.

Not after i read what audiworld members said hell no... hahaha

I'm a tripe A member so its free, for four times a year... and this year is ending anyway im 2 outta 4.

Triple a is coming in 30 minutes. I hope its not repairable, so i can get a new tire but i think it is damn. its about 1/2 inch from the outside rim area. At what point is it considered not repairable? I'm thinking its somewhere around that area of 1/2 inches.

I love my triple A.
Weird thing is when i switched insurance polices from my civic to my audi... it got 200 cheaper for full coverage? The hell.

Can't complain, can't complain.

i think you can still fix the tire, its only 5-10dollar in any tire shop to have it patch. if it was nailed from the side then thats a different story.

I ended up changing the tire myself, using the good ole reliable (the audi stock jack). I was scared shitless after i read the link, lol.

They triple A guys came, they were so useless. They couldnt remove the bolt caps so they said they can't change my tires. He attemped to take the bolt caps out with a screw driver and scratched my rims a little bit. So, I told that fool I'll find another way to do it. And i did it.

Cool, glad you got it done and it's a good feeling doing something yourself isn't it? I love that feeling. Upgrading stuff, changing stuff... you can say that, yes I did that! Once you start modding you will know what I mean. LOL
