If glass gets past that - chances are you'll need a new tire and not just a new tube. Otherwise - you should be good for the season. One cautionary note - anti-flat liquids aren't recommended for winter use. They'll be too sluggish to spread effectively and just upset the balance of the wheel.

daven1986 Get some armadillo tyres, and don't worry about it

Some of you recommend self healing tires or self sealing tubes, I wonder where can I get those since I don't have any bike shops around were I live. Just have a Big Walmart or some other big stores. Of course you all going to say online...I will make my research, however daven1986 were can I get armadillo tires??? I my bike is a cruiser, retro type so can I find this tires with white bands?

Thank you for everyone that post here with good advice, I have a check list now and I will practice how to fix a tire at home.
