Tire repair

[Coolbreeze]

Anyone ever have to have a tire fixed? I have a screw in a rear tire and now a slow leak. Any suggests or where to get it repaired?

I've had it done before, it's hit/miss depending on the damage and the tire. If you've driven some distance with the damage and the sidewall has taken a beating most shops won't do a repair. These low profile tires are less likely to take to a repair in my experience.

Not a problem with 19” tires if the leak is not close to the sidewall. Discount Tire will plug the tire for free.

I second this but heads up, they don’t replace any sound insulation foam they have to cut out to patch the tire. Depending on how much they cut out, shouldn’t be noticeable but they did warn me before they patched mine due to a long screw I ran over.

Isn't it better to replace the tire?
