One of the tires on the VW leaks. I just re-filled it about 2.5 weeks ago, and it's back down to 10 PSI. (Or whatever the unit is.) Today is Sunday, so places such as Town Faire Tire are closed. I can drive to the gas station to wrangle with the air compressor there, but:
1) How hazardous is it to drive the car before replacing the tire, given that there must be a weak spot?
2) Does re-filling the leaky tire make it more or less likely to blow out? Yes I'm concerned about fuel efficiency-- I'm more concerned about surviving the drive to Tewksbury on Monday.
3) Is it plausible that someplace like Town Faire Tire (which sells tires, obviously) will be willing to repair the tire, at mucho cost saving to me?
