Not so smart now, I see.

Heh heh ... you totally misunderstand the Dunning-Kruger effect.

Better to pay somebody to do it right (particularly with safety
related stuff like tires and brakes)

Heh heh ... that's the kind of advice people give who are *not*
on the home-repair or auto-tech groups.

I didn't ruin the tire repairing it.
You simply *assumed* that because you *wanted* to assume that.

I never said that.

You clearly have an *agenda* and that agenda is apparently to tell
us that we can't repair the simplest of things like tires.

Remind me to ask Oren to tell you how we select and buy and
wind our own garage door torsion springs some day. Or how we
compress the springs on our struts to replace them.

If you want the job done right, you do it yourself.
It's not that the pros don't *know* how to do the job right.
It's simply that we do it better because we delve into the details
and we care about the results.

We're smart that way.

Sounds like you are better than pro(reap pro) Good for you.
