Is it true our tires can’t be patched?

I have a slow air leak in my rear Goodyear tire. Without examining the leak, two shops mentioned that exact tire cannot be patched bc they are custom.

Has anyone patched theirs?

Or do we have to buy a new tire every time there’s a nail? 🤔

I had a 3 inch screw go through my 700 mile rear cup 2 and just unscrewed it and put a plug in it, been fine for 500 miles.

Hell naw no need to buy a new tire. I got a screw while on a trip to Vermont on my Goodyears and a random local shop patched that sucker right up. 6k miles later all is well.

😂That’s what I thought! Good talk. 🤝

They wouldn't even check for the screw.

“Custom” tires? You can buy them from Tire Rack. I agree my Emira looks exotic, but it’s not an F1 car! 😆
