need some advice!!
ADVICE PLEASE!!
ok. so i have a MY05 sti, i have just replaced the front 2 tyres with the standard bridgestones, i just had the car in for its 10k service, the service went fine except for the screw embedded into the back trye, the tyres still have a decent tread on them so i decided to leave them on and hope that the screw stays in and the tyre stays up which it has done so far!.(TOO CLOSE TO THE SIDE TO REPAIR)
my problem now is that i need to drive from london to glasgow next week and im worried that all those miles may affect the tyre. should i get a new tyre or will i need to buy 2 tyres to keep both tread equal.
or should i risk it and just try my luck there and back with screw in the tyre..
i was wondering what some of you guys would do if you were in my situation.added to my situation is the fact that it will cost me 200 quid in fuel, have just got 1 yrs tax, paid for a 10k service, 2 new front tyres and 1100 quid insurance. money is tight this month!!lol.

No way IMO - what are you thinking?
Every time I see a screw / nail in mine I pull it out and see what happens, 75% non puncture.
If it isn't a puncture now, the longer its in there the more chance of it becoming one.
Bite the bullet, stick it on the CC - Id hate for someone else to be effected by your tightwad stupidity.

Driving at motorway speeds over long distances on a slow puncture (or indeed with knowledge defective tyre) is irresponsible and fukcing stupid. To not even consider the potential implications of a high speed accident WRT others around you beggars belief.
feel free to pick the bones out out my latest grammatical effort
