has anyone tried a sealant used to cover holes in a tire? what brands do you recommend? i refuse to pay 40 dollars to get it patched if i can pay 7 and it works just the same....

 

should only cost a few bucks to get it patched, at least i thought thats what i paid one time. Of course that was several years ago.

 

It should only cost 10-20 max to fix your flat...go to walmart or some place like that and it should be cheap....or any other parts place like pep boys or somehting...iv enever used fix-a-flat though...sorry...good luck

 

i actually had a nail in one of my tires and i have 225/40/18 and i went to NTB (National Tire and Battery) and its only $15 and its supposed to be like a new tire..all they do is grind the inside of the tire down so it is smooth and the use patches...

 

the thing is i have really crappy dunlops that im running on right now, and $15 is out of my price range...if buying a $7 can of sealant will suffice, im there.....

 

it costs between $5 to $10 to patch it up...

tire sealant is only temporary from what i hear...basically just to get you to where you need to go...it's also flammable...so if you put that stuff in, don't have it patched up...

 

thanks for the info....ill head down to america tire co. tomorrow and check it out...btw, everyone, friends is on @8 tomorrow, dont miss it...

 

update--- i got my tire patched up..... FOR FREE ..im so happy...americas tire co. is the way to go. i called other places and the usual price that they charge for patching is $12, so i guess i lucked out..btw, the people there were really nice and there was no wait...
