I figured why pay to have it fixed when I can do it myself.
right that's what men do, you are not talking to a man.
One summer in college I worked as a tour guide in Chas. SC as a tour guide on horse drawn carriages. I had to learn to "talk" to the horses. The horse was stronger than me and talking liking a man wasn't going to work. Horses respond to composure, touch/pressure, and noise. Learn how to "speak" effectively to your wife.

Any way to undo this latest screw up without sounding more controlling or fake to her?
Agree with her. Easiest way out of any argument.
"I have been thinking W. I agree that we need to get the tire fixed, how can I help you make that happen today?"
= Support + no fixing
