Found this nail maybe 2 weeks back, the head has come off since then and I lost about 10-15 psi at some point from then until now. I filled it up last Friday back to 33-35 psi and on Sunday it was down to 30 or so. I bought a tire plug patch kit but I’m curious if it’s too close to the sidewall? Is this patch-able or plug-able? I know with the location of the nail not being between the tread makes a plug less desirable but it’s gotta be better than leaving the nail in there until I can get a new tire? I’m not really too much of an expert in this department so please bear with me and don’t make fun of me🤣
