My dad has some sort of plugs he just got a few weeks back.. that was my frist option to try. I'm not really sure if they're the same as that website, but I will find out sometime this afternoon. Until then, she's looking just like picture #2

Thanks man.

i found out they were actually these little screw type things... (yeah I found a 2nd one). So I plugged them both, drove around a bit and the pressure was the same when I got back.. I hope it holds.

I also found a slice on the inner sidewall, but there was no air leaking out of it.. it was kind of hard to see... I just happen to spot it before I aired the tire back up.

Hope my tire doesn't blow out...

plugs are not a perminant fix.. and if you got a crack it may not be a quick leak but odds are its leaking i would buy new rubber...
