Unfortunately,\u00a0sidewall punctures on passenger or light truck tires can’t be repaired<\/b>. That’s because: The patch won’t hold – Tires have cords that run all around the tread of the tire, the part the makes contact with the road. But on the sidewall, those cords aren’t there.<\/p>\n
What happens if the nail is on the edge of the tire?<\/p>\n
If the nail is in the area covered by the steel belts, it can be repaired in most cases. However, if the nail is located on the outer edge of the tread or near the sidewall, the tire will most likely need to be replaced.<\/p>\n

And\u00a0something as small as a nail in the road can be the cause<\/b>. \u201cIt happens any time the air in the tire escapes at a rapid speed,\u201d says James Solomon, a defensive driving expert with the National Safety Council.<\/p>\n
