fix a flat works sometimes with really small leaks, other smaller leaks can be repaired for ~15 at a tire shop. you should be fine.

when using fix a flat can stuff is the last resort. After if you use it.. goto the tire shop ASAP. When they unmount your tire, they're suppose to wash all that stuff out. or else 1.) its corrosive to rims and will eat the inside rim up and rust through anything. 2.) it'll throw your balance of the wheel off causing vibration and shaking.

Sounds like the tires might not have sealed up quite right when you got them put on. Take it back to where you bought it and see if they can fix it for free.

I don't know how true this is but I had heard that it matters if the leak is in the tread or sidewall.....is this true guys or it doesn't matter?? That one you can fix and one you can't, depending on where the leak is

Sidewalls are bad. You need to get a new tire if the hole is in the sidewall.
