Slow Leaking Tire

[zero610]

Noticed a slow tire leak last night. Upon inspection, I found the nail pictured below. Does anyone know if this is repairable? 19 inch rims with the Continental tires. Nail is between the treads. Tires only have about 4,000 miles on them so I really don't want to have to buy another one.

Any suggestions?

Nail is not in the sidewall... You can patch or plug it yourself or get it patched professionally.

If they complain about the interior foam, tell them to pull it up in that area, patch it, then glue the foam back down.

Do not rely on a road patch, those are only for emergencies, take it to a tire shop to have it mushroom patched.

All that being said though, it does look a little too close to the sidewall, so it may be a new tire

I would repair that and leave it in the rear of the car.
