Caught a nail today, and I’m a huge procrastinator.

I usually find it the next morning when I go to leave for work so somewhere between 0 and 29.2 miles

I've pumped my tire up 20 times over the past month and have to do so today.

I know it's going to come back to screw me at some point.

A little over 2 years now. I put Tire slime in the tire and monitor pressure. No issues. It is "too close" to the sidewall for repair...

Drive 5 minutes at about 80 mph. If it stays in, then you're good for a year. If it comes out, better get your jack and lug wrench ready.

Did it for 4 days a couple weeks ago. Got tired of constantly airing it up and took it to Discount Tire. They removed the nail and repaired the tire for free.

As long as the nail isn't in the sidewall they won't charge you anything

I drove about 20 minutes going 50-60. The tire itself is already old and worn and my tire kingdom connect patches that shite for free, so no biggy anyways.

I plugged 7 holes in various tires on one vehicle a few months ago. You can go a while.

Months. The leak was so slow that I only refilled it once over about 3 months. Only reason I fixed it was because I was going on a road trip and didn't feel like having it in the back of my mind.

if it's not causing your tire to go flat, indefinitely until it causes a problem.

Or until you see it, get some pliers and pull it out. Then the tire doesn't last quite as long. I know this to be a fact.

I had a screw in a tire one time.





































It was a little cramped, but she didn't seem to mind.

I drove a car around for a solid year with some sort of pinhole leak. Had to put air in once a week.

Then I moved, and got a new vehicle. A little while later had the same problem. Took it to the shop literally a block away, where I know the owner, had it fixed and patched for $20 in less than an hour.
