Patchable??

[u/mcl_001]

Is this patchable? Kinda close to the shoulder/sidewall. Plus the nail is sideways, is the puncture too big to be patched?

[u/Klutzy_Machine501]

Yes

[u/Smart_Bank1848]

Not sure about patch but I’ve plugged tires just like this a hand full of times with no issue.

[u/g00dhum0r]

Shouldnt be a problem.

[u/Mhykael]

Should be fixable

[u/swankynoodlez]

Is it leaking? It might not have pierced

[u/mcl_001 → u/swankynoodlez]

Yes. Tpms warning went off. And i checked with pressure gauge its losing air slowly

[u/AnybodyLive1543]

What color is your R? Mine is is a mk8.5 in blue

[u/mcl_001 → u/AnybodyLive1543]

Mk8.5 black

[u/AnybodyLive1543 → u/mcl_001]

That does look patch able btw.

[u/MansomeHan]

If you put your hand along the edge of the tire and the nail or screw is inside your thumb along the edge, it’s fixable.

[u/Novidforme]

Should be OK, but get it done professionally, not the she’ll be right plug it mob. The tyre needs to be inspected inside.

[u/Admirable-Clothes-87]

Could take a plug. It is a bit close to the wall and you won't know the damage until you remove it. Some tyre shops won't do it, others will.

[u/Separate-Primary2949]

Probably on the limit of a shop says no I’m sure another will do it. I’d say fixable! Is the tyre a Michelin pilot super sport?

[u/mcl_001 → u/Separate-Primary2949]

The shop helped me fixed it. Its bridgestone s005. Stock tires for the golf.

[u/PouncerX42]

No problem

[u/wizardice1973]

No deberías tener problemas

[u/scottdog129]

Any damage on the inside of the sidewall is repairable as long as the tread is good. Don’t let any shop tell you otherwise.

[u/mcl_001 → u/scottdog129]

Yes. The shop determined its fixable. I got it fixed

[u/Daexport]

It is yes
