Flat Tire
Ok, seems like its been dead in here for awhile, so I'll start a new thread.
Had a flat the other day (car sat for 3.5 days) before I left for work. Put air in it and managed to get to work later. At work I checked it out and found on the inside groove a small sheet metal or wood screw. Now, I can put a plug in it myself BUT I'm not sure I want to. Why.....you ask? The screw is small in diameter and I don't want to make the hole (once I pull out the screw) any larger to accomidate (did I spell it right?) the plug I put in. So, what do you think....should I say f*** it and go for it with a larger hole so the plug fits or have the garage put in a patch/plug from the inside?? I think I'm going for the garage........................ sambo42xa Southern, NH

I always had a tire shop fix nail and screw holes. I've never had a problem with a plug leaking afterwards. I figure they do a lot of them, they know what they're doing, and the sealants they use are fresher than the stuff thats been sitting on the Walmart shelf for the past five years.

All set! Had it repaired at a local Tire Warehouse for $19.00! They even removed the tire and put it back on for me.
