I have a 2006 Forester which unfortunately keeps picking up nails in
the same tire. I have the OE Geolanders, 25K miles. This time
Firestone told me they are not allowed to patch the same tire more
than three times because it is dangerous. That's one that neither my
husband and I ever heard of before. The nail is not anywhere near the
sidewall.
Naturally they wanted to sell me a new tire, but as far as I know,
with 25K miles I am going to have to replace all four tires, right?
It's a slow leak so I told them to put the tire back on and I'd think
about it overnight. Tomorrow I plan to go to Sears Auto Center.
1) Anyone ever heard that before, that you can only patch a tire three
times, or is that just Firestone trying to sell tires?
2)If I have to replace all four tires, even though they have a lot of
tread left, any recommendations on which ones are a good choice for
the Forester? On my previous cars, which were Hondas, I generally
liked Michelins.
