There is a nail in my new tire which is fixable but they suggest me to change the tire which is 470$.Today I fixed it 20$.
Hi Mahbub, we understand why a $20 repair would seem preferable to replacing a $470 tire. However, a tire being technically repairable doesn’t always mean it’s safe to repair. The location and condition of the puncture are important factors. In particular, a puncture in the sidewall cannot be safely plugged because the constant flexing of the sidewall while driving can cause the repair to fail. Our recommendation is based on the tire’s condition and safety, not simply whether a plug can be installed. We’d rather recommend replacement when a tire is unsafe to repair than put a customer back on the road with a repair we can’t stand behind.
