.....should I get it fixed by Wheel Works. I know they charge a lot for just patching up a stupid tire.

Default How much do they charge? You have flat insurance? Remember I got 3 of 4 tires with screws in em

before SLO? I had all my tires repaired for free cause I had those wheels mounted by some tire company here in town, so they warranted the tires for punctures for free. (I didn't tell 'em I didn't buy the tires from them, hehe.)

Anyway, cheap patch kit? No way. You get what you pay for, and those little round things you call tires are the only thing keeping you on the road. Think about how much $$$ you're gonna have to shell out for a new rim if the tire goes down at 80 MPH on the freeway. Or worse yet, if you run off the road and into a ditch. Stranger things have happened.

If you go fast or corner hard, don't cheap out. Last thing you want is a blow-out.
