    Flat tire on the highway!

    So today I was coming home from school and my car starting shaking wildly. Luckily I was able to literally seconds later get to a complete stop. I didn't know what was wrong, I check under the car first, nothing was hanging. And then boom, my right front was flat. Idk what caused it but it sucked. So I got the donut on and then 5 minutes later that was flat. So can I get a donut fixed? and how are plugging tires. Is it worth it?

    if the side walls weren't damaged due to running flat and there's a good chunk of rubber left on the tires.. then get it plugged.. not to mention the cost of having it plugged vs. cost of a new tire...

      Does a plug hold for long? Is it hit or miss with those?

                NEVER put fix a flat in a tire....it just causes a mess and a headache for the tire guy.....me. Go to Discount Tire co. they do FREE, yes FREEEEEE, flat repairs. And they also plug it the right way, patch, plug and then a coat of rubber sealant on the inside so the plug/patch doesn't come undone. Oh and did I mention it was free? okay i think i did.

                As for the spare, just go to a JY and find a good condition spare in the back of a CB7, I always find them there...could be had for a couple of bucks.

                    one time i saw an ED chassis civic sitting cocked to one side like it had a flat, but it had rims and low profiles on it, i couldnt see the side which was lower (pass. side in the oncoming lane) but about 100 meters down the road i saw a rim matching his spinning on the sidewalk, i never laughed so hard.

                      fix-a-flat stuff suckkkkks!

                      It is a messy waste of time, I am surprised that it is even legal to advertise that as a legitimate way to fix a flat time. There is some green goo that I have used in wheel barrow and trailer tires but I wouldn't put it in a car tire.
