[QUOTE="KL2DC, post: 191227, member: 3452"] There are mixed policies on patching vs replacement among US dealers too. The general consensus is: 1) If the tire was driven on zero pressure for some time then it is highly recommended to replace as the tire's integrity would have been compromised. (it's a great idea to pump air pressure into the compromised tire as soon as you get the FTM alert) 2) If the nail is in the thread, its more likely to be patchable than a sidewall breach. 3) Most dealers will not consider patching due to liability. Bridgestone/Micheline/Continental frown upon patching RFTs. [/QUOTE]
