usually most places wont patch the sidewall of a tire...only underneath the tire they can patch up, im not sure why but everytime ive had a sidewall tear i had to get a new tire

if you order a tire from dicount tire you can sign up for this special package and if you get a flat they replace your tire free of charge if your under the warranty or whatever....im not sure if they offer it any more

Since its on the sidewall you cannot plug it. I promise you can't. If you decide to its very unsafe. I had a nail in my tire once and my techs said I had to get a new tire.

yep thats what i got...and when i used to have my prelude, i had a flat, and they replaced all for tires with better tires, for no charge. in my opinion they have great service.

and yes they still have that service because i have it right now.

nope you cannot because the sidewall is the weakest place on a tire. that plus you are in risk of having the bead de-seat(if its a word) from the rim. You can try to patch but no one else will because they do not want to sign off on the work and then be responsible for a blow-out. Its safer to get a new tire.
