The tire industry is a racket at local shops like Goodyear, with their "it's too close to the sidwall, you have to buy a new tire" bulls hit. In many cases the nail is a good inch or more away from the sidewall. Go online and search and read, do some homework, a vulcanizing plug works great. I had 3 plugs in one rear and 2 in the other on my old 350 and drove those tires for 20,000 miles, daily driver, with zero issues.
