Hello:
Have a quick question re a tire repair.
I know it's hard to answer without seeing the problem, but perhaps there's a general answer that would apply.
Developed a "small" hole/tear in the sidewall, and the tire went flat.
A tire store fixed it, and said I don't require a new tire.
But, I got to wondering:
I seem to remember reading someplace that most any sidewall holes, or tears, irrespective of size, are essentially unrepairable safely, and the tire should always be replaced for a sidewall hole.
Is this true ?
Repair "seems O.K.," and tire is not losing any air since repair.
But, I really want to be safe.
Can it/could it have been repaired well in the sidewall, or should I automatically assume that I should go out and purchase a new tire ?
Much thanks, Bob
