Got my steelies out....

But realized I had a small 1/2" logn screw stuck in the tire on one. So i took the air out, and took the screw out, and no air seemed to come out of the whole. The whole is very tiny. Should I take the tire to a shop for them to fix the puncture, or is there products available at the store to fix it.

thanks.

for a hole that small..... buy a can of fix a flat

its not the greatest for the tire, but they're just your steelies right? but for the most part it will seal up small holes like that.....

I would definitly not change the tire for such a small hole. It's costly and it's only a winter tire.

My suggestion is to eiter try that fix a flat (no expiernce with it) or have the tire patched up somewhere. They usually charge very little. My dad has a nail in his tire and they just patch it up nice.

If you got the cash do what Slammed Civic suggested, that is the best way to go.

I dont want to buy a brand new tire, these ones still have plenty of tread left, and I just need it to last the winter, cause I need to use my money on other things like oiling the car etc.

Take it to a tire shop and get them to patch it up, shouldn't cost much.
