Repair or replace tires??
 
So i live in el monte and getting to work i have to take the 605 south to the 10 west occasionally, and theres a lot of construction on that on ramp. Just a week ago i ran over a nail on my front tire but had that patched up. An last night i guess i ran something else over on my rear tire... So I'm just wondering wheres a good place to get it patched up, or should i just buy some used tires on this forum. I went to Sam's club and they do it for free but i was using a buddies membership. Gotta drive out to the oc next sunday so i gotta get it re patched soon.

I always go to americas tire to get mine patched, but they wont put the tire back on your rim for you if they arent able to fix it.
if you arent able to patch it, i always see used sets with lots of life on them for a good price on the forums. If you arent on a budget i would just upgrade to some sticky rubber

Generally if its just a nail you can patch it as long as its not within 1" of the edge of the tread.

When it gets close to the sidewall it will be at tire repair's discretion.
