Patch Question

Does anyone have any feedback on patching this tire?

The associate at sears told me this couldn't be patched.

What are your thoughts?

It is difficult to say from a photo if it is within the repairable area or not. I would recommend getting a 2nd opinion.

Here is a link to a visual of the repairable area:

Yes its repairable, just either use a patch or the knifing that has a plug and patch that gets pulled through from the inside. Should last the life of the tire...

 

Should easily be patchable. Sears just wants to sell you new tires. I've never had a plug fail as long as it was properly prepared.
