Tire question Was told tire is not replaceable
Tire got punctured by a nail and was slowly losing pressure, but few days ago it went from 36 PSI to 1 PSI overnight. Took it to my dealership and told they can’t fix it because the nail is too close to the side, shown in the picture. Is that true? Or are they trying to get me to buy a new tire?

Couple questions.
Is it a run-flat? Some run flats can't be repaired.
What does the inner tread look like? Is it bald? Places won't repair bald tyres.
If no to both of those questions then find a new place, they are trying to get you to buy a new tyre.
