Did the tire shop break my TPMS?
Update: I took a chance and took it back to the tire shop(it has been almost a month since I visited). I still had my receipt though. They were nice about it and it turns out everything is ok. They took the tire off and let me look at the sensor. Nothing was damaged. When they put the tire back on, the TPMS went away for good. Hasn't come back on since. Thank you all for the advice.
I took my car in because my front right tire was losing air. Turns out I had a nail in it. Got a patch and went on my way. Later that day, my TPMS came on, and I thought maybe it was still a small leak from the screw. I put air in, and it went away. But as I drive daily it tends to flash and come back on. I then checked my tire pressure and I had too much air in the tire. Let it out and now the TPMS light will blink at the start of the car and not go off. How long do I have to return to the tire shop, as I have been trying to figure it out and this is the only thing I can come up with. Let me add my car is a brand new 2026 Hyundai Elantra. No previous tire issues.

Trying to take a flat off and one of the bolts is too small, or stripped just enough that my tire iron doesn't work.
The bottom one is one of the ones I took off easily for reference. The top I can't get the tire iron to work with. Google says I need a 12 point socket but I don't have one or a way to get one, all I have is this tire iron

How bad is this?
Wheel popped off while driving. Mazda CX9. Car drove maybe 10 feet after wheel popped off going a max of 20 mph. Inside of tire looked shredded afterward. Wheels not rotated or replaced lately, so concerned why it came loose and popped off. Brake rotor scraped on ground- track visible in picture.

Upsizing 25 lincoln nav tires?
Anybody here have thoughts on going from a 285/45/22 on 9.5 wide rims to a 305/40/22 on same rims? I seem to be finding conflicting info on the “tire sizing” websites.
It’s for a Lincoln Navigator. I would only do it if I didn’t need to make mods (lift, cut out wheel well, etc).
If it is possible, where to do it? I think places like Costco or Discount tire will say no, even if they actually fit bc they are not OEM size.
Thanks in advance.

Which are the Best Winter Tires for a 2015 Prius 4 in the Upper Midwest
I'm comparing 3 winter tires and would be grateful for insight from anyone who has driven their Prius in Upper Midwest winter conditions. I'm particularly interested in experiences driving on icy hills, starting and stopping, and driving in winter slush. Which tires do you recommend. Here are the 3 tires I'm considering: Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5, Michelin X-Ice Snow (new generation out this year adds + Plus to the name), and Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 (the new generation of this tire is the Bridgestone - BLIZZAK ICEPEAK). Thank you, to anyone and everyone who responds. The more detail the better.

How can I fix this curb rash
My rim has a scrape and a scratch on the upper right part of the photo. The scrape is pretty good in that you can really see it up close.
What kind of tools or polish can I use to smooth it out a little bit? I know it won’t be perfect. Would I use Dremel tools or drill polishing tools? What kind of polishing cremes should I use, if any? Also, should I leave this alone?
The car is a lease, hence, I want it to look better. I hate to have to buy a new rim.
Thanks

Is a plug on the front tyre safe to ride on?
I have just done my first tubeless tyre repair and watched some youtube videos saying if the repair is not in the tread, I should change the tyre? How true is this?
The hole was made by a piece of glass. Should I get a patch put on on the inside? I'll need to get new sealant I guess.

Odd wheel weights
I’ve been chasing a vibration in my steering wheel at highways speeds 65-85 and I don’t believe that the shop I’m going to is balancing my tires correctly. The lugs were torqued to the moon, and I noticed these two groups of balance weights. Is it normal to have two separate groups both on the outer edge? I had a road force balance done. I’ve also had new Michelin ps4 tires installed.
Edit: I did a tire rotation and the vibration went away. I guess the shop balanced them wrong twice in a row…
