I had a nail on the far inner tread about 1 inch from the edge on the driver side front tire. I had it plugged because the shop said you cant patch it when its so close to the wall of the tire. That same day I flipped my tires due to my negative camber wear.
Its been two weeks and now I got another nail on the inner tread on the front passenger side!
So basically It turns out this tire now has two plugs one on the inside and one on the outside, both holes about less than an inch from the wall of the tire.......
. Is this tire even safe to drive on anymore?

I bought a new tire with the expcetations that I would take the old tire and repair it myself as a backup. When I returned they charged me for disposing the tire and I asked for it back. The shop had already repaired it and had a shipping label on it to another shop...
Needless to say, I took the tire back and have used it for over 10k miles. No problems at all with a inside patch job.

I had a drywall screw in the tires I just bought. 5 miles on them.
