Break One-Nine for Nashville Information

Can anyone recommend a good tire shop in the Nashville, TN area?

Doing a truck walk-around at a fuel stop, I discovered two large nails in our right rear inner dual. The tire is holding air for now and we will be fine through our morning delivery. But before I try pulling the nails out, I want to be close to a tire shop.

Tire shop recommendations appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Thank you for the tire shop tip. As things turned out, there was a tire shop just two miles away from our delivery. We went there. Finding a third nail on closer inspection, I pulled all three out. None had penetrated the tire. All were stuck in the lugs. No tire repair was needed.

Had this been a super-single with some meat still left on the lugs, the result would have likely been the same. Or, in this particular case, had this been a super-single, there may have not been any nails found in the tire at all. The nails were found in the inner edge of the inner dual. A super-single's foot print is wider on the truck, more to the outside. With a super-single, the nails and tire may not have met at all.

This brought back memories of a terrible trip I had in a "Real" truck many years ago. Seems like every time I would stop I had another tire problem. I don't remember how many times I was searching for a tire repair shop. It was a east to west coast trip and I lost a ton of time in the shop.

At least I ended up with a few brand spanking new tires I didn't have to worry about...to much

Glad you lucked out on the tire repair problems.
