The correct tire shop repair is to plug the hole, trim the plug inside the
tire and install a reinforced patch over the plug and injury, thus ensuring
an airtight seal that will last the life of the tire.
This repair required dismount , repair, remount and rebalance...
I can presume all that was do

It seems the majority are waiting for repairs.. Phoenix is still very
active in building construction, and apparently the workers never bother to
close the tailgate on their trucks so they sow nails and screws down the
road as they drive to the job site and back.
The tire shop is of course a magnet
It’s a combination. More repair than anything else I’d say. I think the
