So I got a nail in my tire a few days ago while going through a construction zone. Called a local shop and they suggested I replace the tire. I did so of course but am curious on two things.
1. Do tires on bikes need to be replaced or can they be patched? They are doing construction on several different routes I take to and from home and work and I am foreseeing it being just a matter of time before it happens again. I'd rather not keep spending $170 on rear tires if I can get away with it.
2. Has anyone ever bought a road hazard warranty on tires on their bikes. The shop that installed the tire unfortunately doesn't and they didn't know who to turn me on to.
Thanks,
CK
