Fri, 17:17: Chain tire shop pronounced #tire dead, mounted spare no charge. But they said something we thought was hinky. I drove to small shop we know.
Fri, 17:19: Small shop guy confirmed hinky thing: said you can't plug hole in "donut" spare #tire. Said they're made differently, not meant to last.
Fri, 17:20: Small shop guy said, "I could put another #tire on your rim." I said, "I only have $25." He said, "I can do that."
Fri, 17:21: So now we have a new used #tire replacing the problem tire for $5 more than we were prepared to pay for a patch. yay
