Default help quick?!!?!?
Ok, so I just got an '01.5 a4. And well driving home I thought there was a rock in the tread, but i checked and there's a screw. So now I'm going about chaning the tire and there is one lugnut bigger than the rest. How do I get it off? Please help.

Yea, it looks like a wheel lock, but I don't have a key. I searched everywhere in the tool box.

It looks like a big pair of black plastic tweezers. About 5 inches long.

Default Well, as long as the tire maintains about 20 lbs of pressure, and you drive gently.....
you should be okay.

Stop at gas stations and refill the tire.
