e90 325xi noob flat tire need help please
My car is 06 e90 325xi
I just got flat tire on rear left tire. I could come back to home because I have run flat tire. Should I go to change the tire now or it will be okay to go to garage tomorrow? Also I heard when all wheel drive car need to change a tire, it need to change all the tires because it is all wheel drive, is this true? Then in this case should I change all 4 tires? |

RFT tires can be patched; however the dealer won't do it. You do need to remove it to inspect for damage due to being run while "de-flated", and an inside patch is best IMO. Most repair shops will patch/plug RFT tires (some for free). Unless the tire is worn more than 20%-25% or so, and the tire needs to be replaced, you can replace just the one. Even 50% is doable (although not recommended.) |

It's not an all wheel drive thing. However, it's just good practice to replace them all because if one is done then most likely the others are on their way. That is of course unless you hit a nail or something. But even still the other tires won't be at the same level of usage as the new one so just change them all.
