Back at the tire shop again!

Two months after finding a nail in a tire, now there is a fat screw in another tire. It’s near the sidewall but I’m hoping it can be patched. Ugh. Owning assets is a big pain. Wish me luck as I wait here at the shop. If we can’t get it patched, looking at several days of inconvenience to purchase and install new tires. Bleh.

Several days? Are you making the tires yourself?

They were able to patch it! Thank goodness. My car has a weird tire size and I always have to order them from TireRack. Takes 2-3 days to deliver and install. It’s a Honda Fit with small tires.

When I had a Chevy Spark, my small tires were always needed air pressure and getting nails.

I drove into a tire place in Rockville and 30 minutes later my tires was plugged. It cost $24 and I tipped $20. I thought it was fast and cheap.

My tires only cost $15-$20 each and the shop only charges me $5 to put them on.

What’s my secret?

I ride a bike.

If you get new tires, get the wararnty teh tire shop offers. It's $25-50/tire, but in this area with so much construction, totally worth it. We have a German luxury car where each tire is $250+, and we've had 3 plugs and 1 full replacement under warranty so far. All due to nails and debris in the roads.

I ride a bike, too, but I know how to change my own tires, so it doesn't cost me anything to put them on.

But I also drive a car, and it's pretty annoying when the tires get things stuck in them.

Not sure what riding a bike has to do with this thread?

I've had 5 nails in my tires in the last 1 1/2 years driving around NOVA. It's ridiculous.
