35 minutes until I get to go drive 40 miles to home in the snow.

One of my stock Yaris tires keeps going flat, and I can't really afford (and don't want to) buy a new tire.

Do you think my rims would be too bad in the snow? Keep in mind I drive tons of highway driving every day.

is it pluggable? Running at a lower pressure is what is needed for driving in snow

Not sure. I haven't even looked at it. And it keeps going down to about 15psi and stops leaking then. Takes it about a week to do so.

Normally I'd take it to my dad's shop and have him look at it, but he just threw out his back.

$40 bucks will get you a plug and then some at a Costco or somewhere. I have a nail inmy front right tire now that needs a plug. Same thing it will stop at about 15 psi. You run the risk of the tire shreading at higher speeds if you have a nail in it, so be careful

Yeah, maybe I should just stop being lazy and go put some soap on it to see where the leak is.

I've got a little shop up the road from my house that plugs tires for 5 bucks.

Well my dad has the patches or whatever to do it. I just don't know how and he can hardly walk right now.

Just temporary though.

I'm just sitting here waiting for my buddy to get out of work so I can go to a sports bar and yell at the TV all night. You know, the usual.
