So my right front tire of my 1996 accord lx v6 sedan blew out last night. Upon removal of the tire one of the bolts broke

so i have a donut tire on with 3 out of 4 bolts right now. Is it safe to drive 5 miles to a repair shop?

Also, have any recommendations on places to go and how much do you think it will run to get a new tire and an extra bolt?

3/4 is fine if they are properly torqued

anybody pretty much can replace a wheel stud, its a matter of removing the brakes, pounding out the old one, and pulling the new one through. maybe a 10 minute job if they have parts on hand.

find the last tire place you took it too and say the mexicans overtorqued and caused the failure and theyll eat the cost.
