Default New Tires

Hey guys...so I walk outside today and notice that my drivers side front tire is completely flat...awesome right? I didn't get a chance to change it yet so I don't know if it can be repaired or needs to be replaced completely. If it has to be replaced, will I need to transfer the tire pressure sensor, or is it built into the wheel? Also, do I have to go to a Ford dealership to do that or can any mechanic move the sensor?

Thanks!

The sensor is on the rim so it doesnt need to be replaced. You can take the car to any tire place. Make sure the place is aware of the sensor so they dont damage it.

Alright cool, thanks...one more question, I went on tirerack.com to look up the exact tire and it says "Modified tread for Mustang OE" (link below) if I take the car to a regular tire place, will they be able to get that exact tire or do I need to order it from a place like tirerack.com or a ford dealership?

Thanks!

Any tire place should be able to help you. If they dont have the exact tire, they can usually order it or have it transferred from another store.
