I bought the $10 kit to fix my own tires...and it has paid for itself about 6 times over now. I recommend the tools with the T-style handle for better leverage when trying to stuff the sticky repair material thru the belts. I haven't tried these on high-performance tires tho, but as long as the screw/nail/object is in the tread it should still repair just fine.

Most shops around here will fix your flat for $10 or so. I wish I lived where Flunky does

my local wal-mart plugs tires for $7.50. Its a pain in the ass to do it yourself and wal-mart garuntees their work.

i heard that slime shit gathers in one area and throws off your balance. and the stuff that doesn't stick makes a bunch of noise while rolling around in the tire.

Don't slime of fix-a-flat your tire, might as well call that stuff fuck-a-tire. Have it plugged. A shop near me that we know people at fixed my bros tire for free. It took them literally 15 seconds to fix. Find hole, put green crap on it stab it with t-handle. That was it.
