I asked for plug.. and he told me it's not good cuz I have been driving on the flat for a while and the wall after they fix it..may cause a blow out.. so I just said.. screw it... by the way.. I only get 1 new tire... not 4... cost me 50 bucks installed.. like I said.. it's my winter beater's rim and tires.. so don't really care.. but still suck.. never had a flat before

I sort of had a flat last spring. It was the right rear tire, and I didn't notice it until at the stoplight the lady in the car to my right told me.
The tire was very low on air, it had a screw in the tread that was leaking air slowly. I ended up plugging it and it's still fine.

I always keep a plug kit in the trunk of my car. At least, I can save myself a few $$$ before having a tire specialist redo the job for me !!!
