Patchable?

Booher · 08-07-2019, 06:32 PM

Hey guys, I let my gf drive my car, and she got me a gift in my tire lol. I'm taking it down tomorrow, but it is killing me and I'd like to know what your guys' thoughts are. Is this patchable?

kropscamaro16 · 08-07-2019, 06:41 PM

almost 100% nope too close to the shoulder but bring it my discount tire store they do it for free if they can

Glen e · 08-07-2019, 06:42 PM

My guess is no, the patch won’t sit right on the interior.....

Gunkk · 08-07-2019, 07:32 PM

Plug? maybe.

Patch? no.

Scottyz · 08-07-2019, 07:45 PM

Don’t even try. Had a similar nail in the tire of my TrailblazerSS.
20 inch wheels. Yep the plug did not hold and let go on a road at speed.
Just sayin.
That spot is a bad spot due to a lot of flex in the tire.

Booher · 08-07-2019, 08:46 PM

Damn, I was afraid of that. I'll take it in anyways for shits and giggles. A pair will set me back almost $800, so I'll try anything, hah.

I agree too close to the shoulder

TJay74 · 08-08-2019, 07:34 AM

Nope, to close to the edge. Time for 2 new tires.

Tire warranty ? I had tire rack replace a PS4S w sidewall puncture.. cost me all of $40 to get it mounted and balanced.

Booher · 08-08-2019, 08:14 AM

Unfortunately, I didn't buy that. They wanted $176 a tire for that warranty. I went through discount tire, tire rack offers two year warranty for free I believe. Maybe I should order a new set from there

Road Hazard warranty can save your bacon (wallet) in the first year or two as most are prorated over time.

Booher · 08-08-2019, 04:53 PM

You guys were right,they wont patch it. I've always been told to replace tires in pairs at the minimum. What do you guys think, I'm a bar in a half away from yellow on my tread gauge. Would I be ok with just replacing one of the tires? They did offer a prorate of $180 back, so brings it to around $200, but its $670 for a pair.

Booher · 08-08-2019, 05:07 PM

They pulled a little tiny screw out, a tex screw, and the hole in the tire is big enough to slide a sharpy through it. Could they have done that because they wanted me to buy a new tire, or am I just being paranoid?

VinnAY · 08-08-2019, 07:26 PM

paranoid; the size of the hole matters 0, its 100% the location of the puncture.
