Tire damage

I want to say I got chased down by a dozen ninjas but it was just another case of being at a wrong place at a wrong time.. TPMS came on immediately and I could hear the air hissing as I pulled in slowly to a nearby parking lot.. I don't have the service maintenance program so I got to eat the cost.. just another G37s driver venting here..

Lucky- that throwing star the ninja threw just missed your face, but nicked the tire. LOL

Seriously, with a slit like that, the tire could have shredded and damaged your alloy wheel and fender in short order. Tires are replaceable, so don't cry too much. Innovations like TPS are worthwhile.

Nah, I wouldn't try to patch that up. Don't wanna take the risk blowing a tire at highway speed.
