Default Need some advice?

Ok this morning I took my TA into a tire shop to have a flat tire repair(Kuhmo 275/35/18). So they removed the tire and told me they couldn't patch up my tire because the tread was to low. So they try and sell me new/used tires. I told them I only needed my tires to last another month because my car is going to sit in garage when I deploy. So after about an hour of messing with the tire the dude blows my tire and tell me he is going to replace it with a Michellean 265/35/18.
What would you have done?

well i work for a Discount Tire and they shouldnt have put a smaller tire unless they were ordering you the right size. if you are only keeping them another month the right thing to do would have been to patch it (unless showing cords). i know through Discount Tire people call coporate office and complain and get things situated.
