long as the tire doesn't go flat again. I've had a nail in a brand new tire and left it there , used fix-a-flat, aired it up back to 32lbs, drove 30k miles on it.

I was told by tire experts that fix-a-flat was a terrible thing to put into a tire. Use spare tire if available.

Put slime in it and air it up and you will be fine.


Slime >>>> Fix a flat or anything else

I put some in my tires even if I don't have a flat just because it will seal small holes if I ever do run over anything and being a contractor I run over nails and shite all of the time at job sites.

Discount Tire has a ton of locations out here. Most people in AZ use them. They guarantee their tires and will do free tire rotations the life of the tires. I've only bought tires through them and never had any issues

Lesson to all OTers. Don't brag about ya Benjamins and then get on here buying a tire from a place called discount tires, don't have a working spare, or afford a quick tow.



Meh...rich people don't get rich by being frivolous with their money. Especially on something like tires.

I have a spare and have towing insurance but I also have a fix-a-flat can in my trunk and its by far the easiest option. I just spray it, drive to the store and 15 minutes later I have a new tire. Also, isn't Discount Tire where most people get tires?

Fix-A-Flat does make it a bitch to patch a tire for the tire people.

But that shouldn't cost extra so frick them

Just checked their website....none in LA. Closest states to LA that has locations is TX and FL.

They are missing out 480 I have never had issues going there before.

It has to be the biggest company in the country that only sells tires. I mean they have 15,000 employees and the founder is worth 5 billion.
