Is this pluggable?

[B8 S4]

You could usually plug holes as long as they do not interfere with the sidewall

[s4buckeye]

I have had one like that before. Should be ok.

[AKPS4]

Yes. That can be plugged. Although I personally don't like plugs for performance vehicles. If you drive around town normally then it's perfectly fine.

[infinkc]

yep that can be repaired fine

[RickFLS4]

I thought the preferred method of repair was patching from the inside not plugging these days. Either way that is the place to have a problem - nowhere near the sidewall.

[namvar]

Yes however from this angle I can't tell how close the thread is to the wear bars

[chaos2984]

patching is more acceptable but some places you pay more for it since its move involved. But a plug will work just fine providing you use quality plugs

[new2s5]

Patch.

[Mr.Tan]

def fixable. Plug or patch would work, i'd opt for a patch though.

[FiftyFive]

Thanks guys bringing it in soon. I hate the idea of plugging but don't want to drop good money for new tires just yet. The tread is 7/32, so ok for now.

[M3KILR]

Shouldn't be an issue but I strongly suggest patching it. I have had multiple plugs fail. Most shops around me won't even use a plug. Just pay the extra for the patch.

Looks like you need new tires anyhow...

[Johnnycash]

when you get a nail in your tire thats about the best placement possible, plug or patch both will work fine.

[migo1980]

Patch it.

[DGVR6]

Plug and patch.. don't just tell them to patch lol.
The steel beads will corrode from the inside and from the looks of it im sure it pushed right through.

Must be the lighting and dirt but the tires are actually at 7/32.

diy plug it yourself. easy and saves time. I have done 3 plugs myself and they have worked great. I have used the slime brand and more expensive brand from amazon. all work great.

[RandyQUATTRO]

Yes, definitely fixable. Just had mine plugged this week.

recommended patch and small plug. I've seen multiple plugs leak, and patch only, as others said, allows the steel to be subjected to the elements.

You shouldn't cheap out on fixing a tire, especially if you drive aggressively or do more highway driving. Basic Chevy Aveo with 195/15"? Sure a plug is fine.

[bronz]

i recommend new tires all around lol

[Chandler]

I say patch it instead

[FiftyFive]

Plugged and patched, will get new tires in Fall. Thanks for the input guys.
