I got a flat last weekend and of course they won't plug a Z-rated tire so I was forced to get a POS Fusion tire to maintain myself until I get my rims later this month. So far nothing too bad but it still cost me $125 installed

Yes, tire replacement should always be done on all 4.

Was it just a plug or a patch. Around here they patch any tires and I never had a problem with patched Z rated tires. For 12 bucks i think thats the best deal if you can find someone that does it. Where was the flat and what caused?
