yeah that's really close, pretty much where mine was, and i had to get a new tire

 

Thats a very close call for a dealership. If I were your tech, I would patch that and say its safe. At Infiniti, we would use a plug/patch which will seal the hole and patch the inside. I've done multiple plug/patch in that location and it has never leaked nor failed.

 

I will go to the dealership tomo morning and have the tech look....the just tire I went said they can't fix it.

 

Chiclets worked for me. Cost me 5 cents at the border.

 

Hahah, from the little kids right?

Word.

My lil homies even cleaned my windshield for me

 

That's way too close, my bet is that they wont plug the tire and advise you to get a new one. It usually needs to be a good 1.5 inches away from the edge. Yours seems TOO close.

I got lucky, my TMPS went off and I went to the dealer, they took care of me for free. Plugged it for no charge.

 

Actually, now that I think about it, I think it's too close for repair like everyone says. I remember I pulled a quick maneuver on the freeway once to avoid a collision and smelled my tires hard at work right after. If I did that with your tires and a repair at that location, I don't think the tire would've held.

Better safe than sorry!

well take it to the stealership and ask that your tmps light came on. That's what I did and they fixed my tire for free =).

 

It CAN be fixed but they don't want the liability and they would love to sell you a $400 tire. Go to Discount Auto parts and buy a plug it should work if not find a used tire place and throw something on. Same thing happened to my tire a few months back.

 

It's getting a new tire. I don't want it fail at 5k miles then I have to get all four new tires..

 

Got my car back, wasn't washed like I instructed and didn't see any scratch etc on the paint. Showed the service adviser my seat, he said he will order the part and will come in like a week.
