I WORK AT DISCOUNT TIRE.
THE GOO PUNCH PATCHES SLOW THE LEAK DOWN BUT DON'T FIX IT.

THE PATCHES THAT DISCOUNT TIRE PUTS IN ARE SAFE TO 150MPH. AND ARE A PERMANENT FIX.

And for the rest of you here is how a tire is correctly fixed.
We pull the screw out,
drill the hole out, so it's even round hole, of the correct size,
glue and pull a rubber core through the hole,
cut it to legnth,
buff the inside to a smooth surface,
glue a flat patch over the plug,
roll air bubbles out,
apply repair sealer over the flat patch.

That is how you CORRECTLY fix a puncture.

Go get you tire fixed. you don't need to buy a new one unless the tire is shot.

Alright, well I waited until monday and my shop was open, took it there, he said it was perfectly in middle, so he patched it. Just FYI, what he told me about patching... this guys some old russian formula driver who retired near my school

He said don't drill the hole to even the screw hole (like a lot of people here and around told me), then wash it out reaaaally good with alcohol if you have it, so it will have pure rubber for it to stick, or else it could hold for a month or two, then just slip out all the sudden and break your seal.

Everything is good now, driving nice for a while to be sure, thanks again everyones help
