Default ERR 2 nails in tire!!

Found 2 quarter inch nails in my tire today. i took out the nails but no air was leaking which is a good thing. Although the nails didnt go through all the way there are still 2 holes in the tire tread which still makes me worry. is there anything i can use to fill in the holes on the tire?

If the nails didn't go all the way through, there's nothing to worry about. Just check the pressure every few days for the next 2-3 weeks, and if it's not going down, then forget about it.

If the pressure goes down, then just take the tire to a mechanic, tire shop, or Wal-Mart tire department. They will find any leaks, and use a "combination plug-patch" to repair them properly, from the inside of the tire. The repair isn't expensive; they typically charge around $10.

Yeah, sometimes they'll do it for free or $5 (if they do it for free, you can still tip the guy doing the work a few bucks).
