Gentlefolk:
Yesterday I tendered a slow-leak-tire to Sam's Club for repair . For the third flat in a row , they refused to repair the tire . These are Michelin and high-quality tires . I was frustrated and asked to see the Walmart or NHSTA reg that prevented repair. The technician pointed to this wall chart :
My leak was on the road-surface of the tire near the sidewall but not on the actual side wall. As you can see from the wall chart , basically the Rubber Manufacturer's Association says one shouldn't repair a tire outside of the center-tread area . I'm too much a dinosaur to believe a tire must be discarded with a small puncture outside of the center-tread area. What are your thoughts on repairing such a leak with what we used to call a cold-patch or some kind of space age glue ? [ I'm guessing hot-patches went away with the dinosaurs but this dinosaur is still around .]
Obliged for any and all guidance including get-over-it .
