Slow leak...

So one of my summer tires that came on the FIST has a small leak in it, every 2 days and it is driving me nuts. I took it in to the dealer, and of course cant be repaired since its sidewall damage apparently....So I was quoted 212 for a new tire....I told them to shove it and walked out. Anyways...do I just suck it up and buy another tire from the dealer so I have 4 matching tires? or just buy 2 new bigger wider tires that can fit on the stock rim until next year and buy the other 2 since I am going to be putting them away in a month and half or so to throw the winter tires back on. I really want to just get 16 inch rims and go wider so I can actually get traction, but buying a house prevents me from spending money....so any ideas or advice would be great, thanks!!

Dont buy from the dealer. Find an America or discount tire.

Is there a cut in the side wall or is it a rim to tire leak? Get a second opinion. Then I say new /used tire. I have used the liquid flat repair but i would only recommend on a rim and tire you dont care.

Wait doesnt the tire havsome warranty. I thought i saw in my paperwork.
