I just found out that I have a flat tire in my rear passenger side tire. Do you think this tire can be patched?? Sent from my SGH-I317M

Too close to the shoulder. No shop will repair that or should repair that. You could plug it yourself but I'd get a new tire just for the peace of mind.

A lot depends on how you drive. If you putt-putt around town and never get out on the highway, it will probably be OK to plug/patch it. If you drive like you own a 370Z, I'd go ahead and replace it. It would be on my mind every time I got over 60 mph or took a corner hard.

I don't think it can be patched. It's too close to the wall of the tire. Best bet is to get a new one if not, see if a local mechanic can plug it.

The shop I went to refused to fix it. Part of the nail was budging out of the sidewall. I'm gonna get a new tire just in case. They told me I can get away with just replacing the flat tire. The tread left is 9. Is this safe?
