Can you fix a tire with a nail in the sidewall?
Many times, a simple object such as a nail in the tread can result in severe damage to the sidewall that cannot be seen on the outside of the tire. Puncture repairs are limited to the center of the tread area. If there are punctures or damage in the shoulder or sidewall of the tire, it is not repairable.Similarly one may ask, can a tire with sidewall damage be repaired?

Unfortunately, even though any one of several objects or events can cause your tire's sidewall to puncture, there's only one solution: replace the tire. Unfortunately, sidewall punctures on passenger or light truck tires can't be repaired.

how does a nail get in the sidewall of a tire? First, try to put a nail into your tire. It is not as easy as you think. Sidewall punctures happen the same way, the tread of the tire hits one end of the object, causing the other end to flip up into the bulge of the sidewall.

how far from the sidewall can a tire be repaired?

Some manufacturers limit the number of repairs permitted (usually two) and how close they can be (no closer than 16" apart). Repair of any punctures in the shoulder and sidewall areas are not permitted. This tire has been punctured in the tread area by a screw less than 1/4" in diameter.

Is it safe to drive with nail in tire?

If you have a nail in your tire, it is time to have a professional look at your vehicle. It may be safe to drive a short distance, but not much more than that. The first thing to do if you notice a nail in your tire is do not touch it. If the nail is deep enough, it can plug the hole so air does not leak from the tire.
