fill it full of air and run to autozone and get a plug kit. pull the nail out, use the rasp to enlarge the hole, put the plug in the handle, press the plug in and pull the handle out leavin about an inch of the plug exposed then use a razor and cut the plug flush. Easy cheep and effective. saves you the trouble of having to take your tire into a shop, have it broke down, patched, remounted and ballenced
Yeah the kit only costs like $5, and if you take it to a garage they will probably charge you more than $10. Plus with the kit you can repair 4 or 5 holes.
Sure, if you've got the money for a new tire you're better off, but if the other side is old you're better off replacing that too and that gets expensive quick.
