re: New car tire question - found a nail in the tire; how long will the tire last after patch?

Should last as long as the tire

this ^^^^^

a patch will last as long as the tire does, provided the nail didnt break any of the steel strands in the belt. there is no way to know so patch it, and if the tire has any issues a few months after, then buy anew tire

if it really bothers you, just replace the tire now, but most cars on the road have at least one tire with a patch in it
