is it safe to drive with this?

[Teds89IROC]

As I was driving I thought I ran over a nail because I heard that distinct tapping. Once I parked JM and I found this... :lol:

[deadtrend1]

lol .. just pull it out, since it looks like its just in the tread. If it hisses, then you shouldn't have listened to me .. :lol:

Best I pulled out of a tire once was half of a set long needle nose pliers. It was amazing to see.

[sweetbmxrider]

i saw a tire get pierced like this the other day! lucky. spray some windex first but it deff looks fine.

[Teds89IROC]

Yea, I def. got lucky, I figured I'd wait till the morning before work to pull it out when I can see what I'm doing. I wiggled it around and I didn't hear any air leaking.

[bubba428]

lucky bastard...thats close to sidewall

[NastyEllEssWon]

as long as the inner liner of the tire isnt punctured your solid
doesnt look bad at all. throw some soapy water on it just in case
watch for bubbles. im 100 percent solid that it wont leak though

edit: btw those gy integritys are awesome tires. compare the tread
to that of the gy assurance comfort tread. identical for 50 less.

what about the internal construction of the tire? i don't know but i'm just asking. tread isn't the only thing that gives you a "comfy" ride

Rub up against other cars that piss you off on the road.

UH...FAIL

The integrety is a BIG POS tire...sorry. Its only good thing is low rolling resistance, hence why Prius uses it.

Integrety and Assurance Comfort Tread are totaly different. How about the additional rubber cap that silents ride up to 20% then other leading tires?
The tread blocks, the tread design, everything is different. Mind as well be comparing it to the Tripple tread.




Ted, you should play some numbers or go to AC with that kinda luck.

[bubba428]

I hear that all, I used to sell them at sams club...biggest POS tires ever....flimsy as all hell

These tires are POS', if it's wet out I can't get traction for **** merging on the highway or even just accelerating up an incline. On the cruise I almost broke even in the casino but didn't win anything big. I'm also still waiting to hear about a job I interviewed at 3 times already since the end of May, so I dunno about my luck, things that are really important don't happen for me :lol:

[BigAls87Z28]

Alright well, could be worse.
And yes, unless someone just must have the Integrty's, I will move them to something else.

Biggest complaints is
#1- Rain traction or lack there of
#2- tire life
#3- handle like marshmellows.

For "$50" bucks more, the Comfort Tread gets you
2x the life (40k mile vs 80k mile)
10x the ride comfort
Not saying that the Comfort tread is the mostest awsomest tire...but Integs suck it hard.

[BonzoHansen]

Goodyears - good for a year.

[bubba428]

when you mount them on the wheel you can just tell they're **** by how much they stretch

Maybe he is talking about just the regular "assurance" but, in fact is still a different tread design and has a 65k milage warrenty.

as soon as I saw "comfort tread" was like... wtf?

What do you know about tires u have absolutley no tread left hahah

[NastyEllEssWon]

actually im pretty much a tire specialist. i know a lot about tires.


comfort tread < triple tread

there are two tires in the assurance passenger car line. the only thing different about the comfort tread and the integrity is that the comfort treads are a tad more quieter than the integrity.

How about the additional rubber cap that silents ride up to 20% then other leading tires?

but for almost 50 bucks less theyre a deal. ive worked all over and never heard of anyone with a PASSENGER car complain about the integrity. of course they shouldnt be on a fbody but on a prius you wont notice the difference between a comfort tread and integrity.


hahah camville your right, my tires are toast. also the reason i have a little red REJECTED sticker on my windshield. but they were bfg g-force's before they were toast. next tires for me are the sumitomo htrzIII

Wrong.

The Assurance family now has 3 members, The assureance featuring Tripltred, The assurance featuring comforttread and now the Assurance itself which is replacing the Regatta/Regatta2

And yes, even on a prius you can notice a different in noise and ride comfort on a assurance comfortread vs. a integrity.


BTW, Sumitomos suck if your looking for a tire that will handle andthing in the rain, any performance or noise aspect... yes, I have them on my car... only good thing is the price.

Uh...yeah, well I guess I must be a Tire God then.
Trip Treads are very good, and there is a lot of difference between the Comfort Treads and Integs.
I dont think they are 50 dollars difference, more like 25-35 per tire, the Comfort tread is a much better tire.
And at the Integs price, Id could think of 4-6 tires that are better for same or lower price.

[BonzoHansen]

Goodyears FTL!

[NastyEllEssWon]

the sumitomo's are only until i can afford a set of drag radials and 11'' wheels for the rear. i need to get rid of this rejected sticker fast. for 390 for 4 tires shipped to my front door its a steal.

as for the integrity's ive put a lot of integrity's on a lot of cars and never heard any complaints. oh well to each their own.

[BigAls87Z28]

Well I guess Im the guy taking them off.

[BonzoHansen]

tire fight!

[NJ Torque]

Well I guess Im the guy taking them off.

Haha yeah... Only thing I'd really sell an integrity to is a car that has them OE (new) and is unrepairable and dont wannt buy a set of 4.

That or those damn fleet cars...

You need 11" wide drag radials why?

[NJ Torque]

Haha... drag radials on anything more then 15" wheels are pointless....

I like this guy.
With the Regatta 2 being replaced, I guess that means that my Weatherhandler tire will be getting updated....
