I picked up a nail in my back tire, so I take it to get it patched and I'm told it's too far to the crown of the tread (the very edge of the tread) to fix. This is a new BF Good wrench G-Force Comp TA that still has the little production (titties) on the tread and side walls. WTF!!!
Definitely possible. A patch won't hold on the crown.Originally Posted by mrfister

Take it somewhere else for another look. Discount tire did this to me a while back and I knew it wasn't far enough over not to be repairable. Had another shop fix it without any hesitation, nor did they pose any safety concerns. They told me they hear that all the time from people who went to Discount first.
Current project.

When I was a tire bitch I refused to make a repair within half an inch of the sidewall

Ran a plug on one that was 1/4" from crown for years.....never had an issue with it.....however it was on the family sedan, not my monster of a street truck.
It's not even a thumb width from the edge of the tire. I put some slime it it this am and it's still not flat so we'll see.
I had I bolt and butterfly nut punch through mine and bulge the sidewall from the inside. Hibdon repaired it no questions.
Damn, which one, I can't get any shop to fix this tire?
This one is in Okc, on a/t tires too...
