First thing is to spray soapy water to see if you have a leak.

You didn't get the road hazard replacement did you.


I don't believe I did. I use don't buy any "extras."

Edited ...

I just checked. I actually purchased replacement coverage.

This is for my daughter's vehicle. Looks like I'll be getting a brand new replacement tire.

A plug might work, not a patch…

It can be repaired. Learn how to plug a tire yourself. Stop relying on box store mechanics. You can buy a kit at Walmart.

That can definitely be plugged.



My guy is like $20 to fix it. Well worth it if you ask me.

Any recommendations around the BR area? Tire has less than 3000 miles on it.

Mexican shop on Coursey near Stumberg will do it in 10 minutes. Unsure if it will hold for you long term though. It's not far from the old Winn Dixie, but on the opposite side of the street. I don't remember the name, but you can't miss it.

Mexican Tire Shop Airline at Alco next to the Dominos will fix it. I had a similar type location in my tire and they took care of it.

Would a tire shop try and repair this?


They shouldn't

Is it too close to the sidewall


Yes

Would a can of fix-a-flat work in this instance?


Wouldn't advise that.
