Are punture proof tires real?
Not exactly. There is never flat running tires that are used by us in law enforcement for special response teams. Inside the tires there is a metal ring that is bigger then the size of a rim. Therefore, when tire is shot at or is shredded the vehicle can keep going without rolling on tire and rim so it will not do any damage to rim or tire but if tire got a hole in it then its already done deal the main reason for it is so you can drive that extra 5 miles on that metal ring around the rim to get to safe place without risking you ability of driving and loosing control.There are also solid, non-pneumatic tires and/or 'inner tubes' available for some applications, most commonly for wheelbarrows, bicycles, and industrial equipment (military equipment too, I think). They aren't so much 'puncture-proof' technically, it's simply a matter of the fact that a punture is inconsequential, since there is no possibility of the tire deflating. If they are available at all for common automobiles, they certainly aren't mainstream, and would likely be expensive and not very smooth riding.Another puncture resistant type are pneumatic (air/gas inflated) tires that also contain a thick, gel or resin that, when the tire is punctured, seals the hole automatically with little or no deflation occurring. Incidentally, there are gels and resins that can be purchased at your favourite tire shop, auto parts shop, even Walmart, etc. that you yourself can inject into your tires to provide your tires with puncture resistance. The 'green goo' type is popular and seems to work well (check with your tire dealer using first if you have a warranty on the tires though, just in case it could void the warranty).
A auto shop patched a tire and within a hour of sitting in the back of a truck the tire was flat should I get a refund from the auto shop that repaired the tire?
Bring it back and make them fix it again. It is also possible that you have 2 leaks and the person that fixed it didn't re-check for leaks after he found & fixed the first leak. You should not be charged if they did not fix it properly the first time.
