Eric Enthusiast Registered: 09/09/06 Posts: 323 Loc: Iowa	Originally Posted By: JeanetteIsabelle Originally Posted By: Eric A patch or plug won't help on sidewall (or near sidewall) punctures due to the lateral stresses involved. The plug cannot transfer the stresses and all glues used for patching will eventually fail due to the lateral stresses. This sets up a situation that can easily lead to a catastrophic tire failure. I can't find anything I have said that could have alluded to a patch working on a sidewall. Jeanette Isabelle I did not mean to imply that you had and in re-reading my comments I can't find anything I wrote that implied or alluded anything along those lines. There are multiple documented instances of failed sidewall repairs leading to fatal car wrecks so I wanted to include the information for completeness, and place it first to make sure anyone stumbling across this discussion understood both the risks and the reasons why it is not a good idea. My apologies for the misunderstanding, - Eric _________________________ You are never beaten until you admit it. - - General George S. Patton
