For long road trips do you feel a patched tire is safe
My daughters new Q5 which has around 160 miles on it has a screw in the middle of the tire thread. Normally I would just remove the screw and put a plug in it myself but being she drives the car 4 hours each way to school and it’s my daughter not me driving I always in the past just replace her tires when something happens.
I spoke to the dealer and they are willing to patch it ... I never take this route but the tire is literally brand new. Being on the side of caution would you feel safe with just patching it ? |
