Default Tire Repair

One of my car tires has developed a slow leak. Probably picked up a nail somewhere. Looking for suggestions of someplace honest to fix it since it only has 15,000 miles. Thanks.

They are somewhat quick to say it cannot be fixed and sell you a new one.

Would recommend Sumter tire

"somewhat quick" doesn't give much of a knowledgeable answer.

Are you sure you have a leak? When the weather turns cold like this the air pressure in your tires will drop a little and the tpms may show a low tire pressure. Air up your tires but be aware the tpms won’t re-set until the switch has been turned off(at least that’s the way it is on my Honda)

Firestone on 466 just past Walmart, or Sumter tire on 301. Both excellent choices

Has someone said above the call that weather affects tire pressure my tires go down 4 to 6 lb in the winter here in Florida but if you're on the highway for 10 or 15 minutes they will go up from being heated running around

If the nail in in the tread then it's an easy fix, if it is in the side wall you will need a new tire.
