I have a nail in one of my tires, are any tire shops better than others for flat repairs? I was probably going to go to Dunn Tire on Sheridan. City or northtowns preferred. ---

Just about any tire shop with 2 brain cells to rub together can plug a tire. Pretty cheap too, usually $10 or less regardless of where you go. ---

I use the blackjack tire repair kit, it works fine. I put a plug in one of my cars a while back, it will save the tire. ---

i dont know if you guys are talking about the kits where you have the hook and the “rubber” string and you pull it back thru but those dont do the best job of sealing the tire. I work at dunn tire and i would say 1 out of 10 flat repairs we get are fixing those. before i would ever do performance driving on a tire i would want it to at least have a pancake patch, but even that usually voids the speedrating on a tire but since this is probly a winter car i dont really know where im going with this, good luck ---
