    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.
