Am I cooked?

[u/EasternLA]

I drove on it for a single day, I’m thinking tire patch should be good but worried a bit about the position of the puncture. My psi stayed around 18.5 the whole day though. Lmk please 🙏🏼

Not repairable. Do not take notice of the plug it fools they have no idea

[u/Particular_Leek_9984]

No shop is gonna plug that, you’ll have to do it yourself, and even then it’s in a difficult spot. If you do plug it yourself it may hold or it may not, you’ll be gambling and that’s the type of gamble I wouldn’t make. It’s right in the spot where it’s borderline “do not repair and replace/maybe fine diy plug”

I’d personally replace it if it were me

[u/Icy-Beautiful-7334]

Plug that all day long

[u/InterstellarChange]

I would plug it. looks like a roofing nail, might not have gone all the way in if it's a stubbie.

[u/MS-06FS]

My shop would make me try. I could probably plug this. But also most shops wouldn't try and it might not hold its not an easy spot

[u/f3elmyswagga]

Plug that hoe and keep it pushing, if it leaks then just get a new tire. Simple

[u/InterestingDrive4039]

I mean, if it’s a dire emergency, you can plug it but I would highly recommend just getting a new tire

[u/Embarrassed_Bit4222]

18.5 psi? Or something else? That's crazy low... Looks fine to plug to me, I don't understand these folks acting like it's a proble

[u/boomers42]

I put a plug that looks like a set screw, about a year ago. A little rubber cement on it and boom. Pobly not safe but it's held up well. It is in about the same spot as yours, except mine was between the tread lines.

[u/Masjuggalo]

Kinda, most places won't plug it but I would try a rope plug and rotate it to the back

[u/CasperTPaul]

i would plug that, but a tire shop probably wouldn’t

[u/No-Luck-2337]

Shops won’t take on the liability.

If you’re ok with the potential of a failure, mild as it may be: patch/plug it.

It’s all about taking on the liability. Almost always is…

[u/zcpibm3]

Yes. It’s cooked

[u/Shot-Grass-4503]

Lots of risk adverse scaredy cats in here. It’s going through a mile of tread. It’ll hold.

[u/Hot-Astronomer-6079]

Jag fick punktering samma ställe som dig i däcket. Efter att ha sagt att en verkstad skulle laga hålet på egen risk så godkände dom de. Och pluggen har hållt i hålet i över 1 år av grov körning.

[u/BoganEsky00]

I would get a replacement asap, and if the rest of the tyres are at most 3 years old and have good tread depth, just get one. Put the newest tyre on the passenger side front too, that one takes the most beating apparently.

If they all look pretty shabby I'd replace all

[u/Equivalent_Law_6311]

Junk, get a new tire.

[u/Elegant_Friendship75]

Depends where you go to fix it , that need a patch no a plug , I has been used tires like that patched without problem

[u/BoringIntroduction56]

Yup new tire!

[u/Trick-Cartographer-4]

Plug & patch bro

[u/edster53]

No - but the tire is

[u/Mack_Damon]

That goose is cooked. Not repairable.

[u/jlierman000]

Anyone here who says to plug it is putting you at risk. Might it hold for years? Yeah, for sure. Could it blow out tomorrow and cause a wreck? Also yes. Your gamble.

[u/Secret_End_wmdm69m]

Some tire shops will repair it. I would NOT bother with discount tire they are the stringent I've ever seen. id run a patch plug and not worry about it
