Midtown Tire patched one tire and, based on my conversation with Enrique, he pointed out that I also needed new tires so I took his advice and ordered the other three.

The most interesting part about the visit was learning about filling your tires with nitrogen because I had never about that before. We had long conversations about why that would be a useful and effective thing to do and one they pointed out was that oxygen is a smaller molecule and fuses to the tires more quickly. I didn't believe them at first, being a chemist, so I looked it up on the internet. Indeed, this turned out to be true and I sent them a piece I found. They were clearly interested and wanted to better understand. Altogether, it was good service but we also both left learning something new.
