I know it is not recommended to patch the stock tires that come on the Z. However, I just moved into a neighborhood that is still under construction, meaning there are loose nails and the like all over the place. I believe I have already run over one as my back right tire runs out of air about two days after filling it up.

I'm a bit leary of dropping $400 on a new tire when I could just as easily hit another nail with it tomorrow while they're still doing construction. Is there any way I can just have it patched until the construction around here is done? They estimate being finished by the end of the year.

I have an '07 enthusiast Z.

 

The only downside to patching a high performance tire is that you lose the high speed rating. Other than that, if it can be patched/plugged, then somebody can and will do it. Just don't take it on the track, drive it to the limit, etc.

 

Where is the hole? If it is away from the sidewall, it can be plugged or professionally patched without issue.

 

I ran over a nail about a month after getting a brand new set of tires. NTB plugged it with a rubber plug and they guaranteed it would never fail. I was kinda leary but had no choice do to a tire backorder. Just make sure it is away from the sidway like noted above.
