Thumbs up recomeded tire pressure? (screw in tire)

Is the recommended tire pressure 32PSI?

the story:

well i was washing my car today (1st time in a month) and i realized my rear right tire was low compared to the others. so i parallel parked up on curb like usual and the tire looks really low because of the weight on it. well i went to take my pillars of this mornign then went tot he gas station bought a tire pressure gauge checked them all all around 30-32 thent he odd ball 16 (im think at this point mother f**king bizatch! ) then inotice a screw in the tire (thinks to self damnit!) brand new pirellis.....

not sure how long screw is but if i take it out will it go flat? should i buy a new tire and get er put on , what can i do i filled he back up and i will check the PSI tomarrow and if it gets low i will prob have to buy another tire

Yes, it will go flat if you take it out. Get it patched. If 32psi gives you even wear, that's the pressure to use.

Since I have had my RL I have had my Dunlop Graspiks patched twice and my stock Dunlops patched once. I have since auto-xed on the patched tire without any problems. I have bad luck with debris and tires and debris and glass

Same patch. Same cost.

Although, the tire man will always bitch about mounting a low pro tire. Everyone's a whiner.

dude if you are getting new rims anyway go to wal-mart and get a plug kit, pull the screw out use the hone tool that comes with it sand out the hole and stick a plug in it.... ive used these so many times never once ever had a problem : cost .... like 5$..... i wouldnt recc it for a brand new tire but if you are going with new ones soon anyway this will work just fine...

You all have to go to Discount Tire Company. They repiared my tire for free. (Patch job not plug) Also no previous purchase required. At least that is how they do it in Orlando, FL.

Yeah you can get it patched. I remember the same deal with a wilderness tire I had on my explorer, I was like: FUCK a flat need a new tire. Took it to some guy on the edge of NYC (was on vacation at the time) and he fixed it for like 30 bucks.
