That sucks. I personally think thats too close to the sidewall for me to want to patch safely. I was trained 1" or less to sidewall and tire is done.

Then you have no business with this car. Seriously, you should have bought something you could afford to take care of. |

Was thinking about this, and realized that I took it wrong (I hope). You meant that you have o pay off your down payment or something before you can afford tires - not the whole car, right??? |

Too far into the shoulder to repair safely - tough luck on that nail.

I'll be surprised if my stock tires last more than 6 months at the rate I play with my car.
