Urgent: Replace tire or patch?

dudafunk · 04-03-2010, 04:43 PM

I did tell the shop that the previous 2 or 3 shops refused to repair. To which he said, that yeah because no one wants to take the liability. And then he said, we will also not give you a guarantee, but from our experience its okay to go for it.

I just read this and find mixed opinions all over.. Nail in Tire - Can It Be Repaired? *PHOTO* - Corvette Forum

Anyway, its just that I have only 4000 miles on them so they're really brand new. Maybe I could run them for a little while and then replace them with new ones.

I went to AutoZone to get a tire pressure monitor but they said I shouldn't rely on one of those.. I was thinking I could monitor daily to see if I am losing air and if I really am, then definitely replace the tire. Is a daily pressure check not reliable with AutoZone items? (Its my first time with performance tires).
