IS MY TIRE REPAIRABLE??? Please help! PICS
I was wondering if this is repairable on the stock Bridgestone? Is it to close to the sidewall? Thank you for any input!

I agree with everyone else regarding you getting a new tire. BUT, if funds arent available, go get some plugs from your local automotive shop. that should hold up until you are able to get a new one..

Your best bet would be to take the tire to a local tire shop and have them take a look at it. Sometimes they can work miracles repairing a tire.

cutting it close, but u might be able to do it. I would suggest that you go to a local tire shop and ask if they can fix it. Good luck

No, that's dangerous. A good tire shop should reject patching/plugging anything an inch away from the sidewall..
