Wonderful job Emg03063, I just did the same thing! My tire patch kit for $10 is just what a local shop uses and charges $15 for, if they don't have to remount or rebalance. I just plugged a tire in the Honda Fit I'm borrowing. (sensible mustachian car, but really too small for me to work out of. Also it's been years since having an automatic transmission, boy are they touchy and annoying. My last 4 cars have been unbreakable CVTs, and stick shifts before that.)
This is the 9th time I've used this patch kit, so that $10 saved me 9x15=$135 so far, and still has 5 patch pieces left. One downside is I just barely have enough hand strength to operate it.
To all of you who read this, would you give me your opinion:
-Was it appropriate to "necro-post" to this thread considering it was exactly what I would have wrote anyways....
-Or do you think I should have started a new (identical) thread?
