You really didnt have to ask this question did you??

 

No question....and if ya dont have the time, spring and have someone do it. Ya dont and every mile your goin to be wondering just when..........................

 

Is it just me, or am I seeing a trend here in replies. Just orderd a new tire. Old tire only had about a thousand miles on it so it pained me to do it, but.........

Thanks everyone who responded.

 

most likely there is no reason to replace the tire(unless it has low tread or sidewall damage) you do need to clean the fix a flat out,it is only for a temp repair,it will thru off the balance, and can lead to a blow out..find out where the leak was,patch the tire,replace the valve,put in a tube..what ever it needs

 

Uh-Oh. A break in the consensus. Can the tire be reused?

 

No Way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

If there is no problem with the tire and it was only the valve stem why not clean up the fix a flat put in a new valve stem and reinstall the tire ???
Why is the tire JUNK, please explain.

 

Get that stuff out of your wheel as soon as possible fix a flat is very corrosive to aluminum wheels.

 

Was this flat on your tubed RK tire?

 

It is very possible that if the tire was ridden any distance extremely low on air pressure or flat...It will have broken cords in the tire...causing bulges or knots on the tire...But obviously not in this case...I have seen it many times before.
