Tire Question

Im currently running on 20' Toyo T1R, Last week I hit a nail, took it to ossington tires for repair, just when I thought all was done the next day I found a leak in the same tire, So i took it back again for them to fix it ..this time he actually does the mushroom patch, but in the process of doing so my rims are all scratched now + not to forget he actually chipped my tire ( the edge of where the tire and rims meet). Now, its gotten worst, my tire is completely flat and My cars stuck at work. And its the last Freakin Long weekend. I'm going back tommorow with an air inflator from canadian tire, inflate it and drive it home.But I was wondering my possibility here:
1)with a chipped side can i repair the tire?? the tire is 3 months old and has 90% thread left
2)just quit wasting time order a new one rite away and get it changed, cos there no way i can get this repaired.

Besides, In the mean time can I use my spare with the other three wheels being a 20" ???

Thanks Guys .. Any Advice and help is appreciated ...

I assume that you picked the size of your 20" tires so that the overall circumference of the tire does not change, therefore you should be able to use your spare tire to get to a shop. It will be far safer than driving on a damaged 20".

I had some good experience with ossignton ...

but I guess you should just get a new tire in this case...

I'd ask them to do something about it, or pay for damages.
