Cheap tire patching/sealant.
Just curious my options of tire sealant and patching, i ran over a screw with my Toyos and need something that can deal with agressive driving. I've seen "Goop" advertized on TV and there is "Fix-A-Flat", would either of these be feesable? What are the prices of both? I'll have to save money for either. -_-

Don't use Fix-A-Flat. It tends to pool and will throw the wheel out of balance. It makes a mess inside, too.
Despite many recommendations against doing this for hard-used performance tires, I have used plugs on several tires and it has held up fine. It is the "yarn" with goop on it -- same stuff the gas station uses and the same stuff you can get at auto parts stores. I've never had one mess up the belts or come out after installation. YMMV, but it has worked fine for me.
