Here's a picture of my flat tire:

Here's a picture of a non-flat tire:

What do guys think? Could I drive to the store and back? It's 4 miles. I'm going to get the tire fixed tmw or Wednesday.

I wouldn't recommend it.

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

I don't have an air thing to put air in my tires with... I'd have to drive like 1 mile to a gas station to put air in it.

I don't see the problem. drive a mile to make the 4 mile drive safer?

probably means your tire is busted and will need replacing. but yeah its not a good idea to drive on a flat tire. it'll just cause more damage
do you have any of those roadside assist insurance services??? those things can be life savers

Drive to the gas station and air it up, then drive to the nearest tire place and have them patch it up, it costs like $10

I'd just buy some plugs and do it myself, then you have extra incase it happens again. They should be pretty cheap and is easy as fuck to do

Ya, I think my tire isn't SUPER flat... but it will be soon. I think I'll be able to fill it up with air one more time and do this trip, but then I really can't drive on it again unless it's to get it fixed. Or I'll have to get it towed, at the worst.

Ya i have AAA, but my car tags are expired , so it'd cost $50 for them to help me out and change the tire. I thought about just changing the tire myself, I have the tool for it and stuff and a spare tire.

If you have to drive anywhere on that thing go slowly. If you shred the tire and ride the rim it's going to mess things up. Either find someone with an air pump that can bring it to you or drive very slow minimal distance.
A plug cost me $7 a couple weeks ago.

Yeah I it took about 8 mile's of driving on a tire about as flat as that before it tore a hole in the side-wall and you can't patch that. The I put on the donut and it blew out going 45 miles and hour while I was 2 miles away from my house. 
U could just put your spare on and bring your tire with to fill it up if your that worried.

Word, ya this sounds like a good option. I assume all tire places are closed at 7:48 pm on a Monday... I'll have to go tmw.

Ya true true, that's no bueno. Well, I want to go to the store now to get food cuz I don't have much in my place. I don't want to find an air pump from a friend at this time ha. I'm hoping my tire doesn't bust, that would not be a fun night.

You probably could drive 4 miles on that but there will be damage to the rim\tire at the minimum with possibly a much worse consequence. I wouldn't risk it, but I don't know your situation.

Don't you have a spare. If you can hear the rim banging you will fuck it before 1 mile
