Anyhow, he patched it, and balanced it and asked for $20 cash. A total steal.
I am not happy about having a patch, but I don't track the car and very rarely touch 100mph briefly on a highway. The cut was razor-thin and about 1/2 inch long on the inside (where it counts). He did say, expectedly, that if the tire is not holding pressure, I'll need to replace it. In the meantime, for $20, I'm not with a donut.
Due to wedding-related issues, I will not be able to do an AutoX until at least September. So I will make the determination on whether it is safe to run AutoX on that tire. I'd be more concerned with a front tire though.
If the tire is bad, it will manifest itself as a slow leak. It wont blow up on me during normal driving.
