Just repaired this tire and was wondering since it seems borderline.

What do you think about the sidewall proximity?

I plugged it with a string tie from the outside.

After cutting both sides flush, I patched it from the inside.

I accidentally got the rubber cement on the patch, but it seems to hold.

The main question is whether the hole is too close to the sidewall.

Â* As long as it's in the tread belt you should be OK .

Looked OK to me to. Not sure tire would pass the Lincoln penny head
test though - looks pretty worn.

It's not down to the replacement wear indicator that you can see in the photo.
Exactly how much is left, hard to say because it's a vertical shot.
They would definitely pass the penny test on the section we can see,
I'm guessing there is about 4/32 left. The Lincoln test is 2/32, which
is the wear indicator.
