So? you're replacing the tires in the spring...

who cares about the mess on the inside of the tire. The last time I had a tire patched at a tire shop it took 10 minutes and 15 bucks. That was a few years ago, so now the wait might be 2 hours, due to staff shortages(who wants to patch tires at 15 dollars an hour?) and 60 dollars plus some absurd gov'mint fees to save the environment that you never had heard of. Plus you be asked for a 20% tip.

A bicycle floor pump will inflate a car tire -- just takes a little effort.**
