As everyone said tire repairs are pretty cheap. I've had good luck with them on several vehicles. Some shops use a plug that has a patch on the inside, those works great.

Any suggestions on new tires from those who drive in the snow? The tires i have now are great in the snow and i dont want to lose that ability.

A $5-10 tire plug kit from any auto parts store (or Walmart) will likely fix that for you. Since it's on the tread, not near the sidewall, should take a plug nicely.

Update:

Repaired for free which i was excited about but my tread is really low so i think ill run a bit longer on my fronts that have good tread and upgrade this summer.

I am thinking about nokian wrg2 tires. heard really good things. Anyone have opinions here? Unfortunately our sponsor doesn't carry them.
