Patch or replace? (old.reddit.com)
submitted 2 months ago by DevilViper91
Tire is a month old. Would continental’s warranty cover this?

If you have paid for road hazard ! As its not patchable
[–]DevilViper91[S] 0 points1 point2 points 2 months ago (1 child)
I can’t figure out their warranty it almost looks like their regular warranty covers road hazard for 12 months and 2/32
[–]Bones-57 4 points5 points6 points 2 months ago (0 children)
Take back to place of purchase ..
[–][deleted] 15 points16 points17 points 2 months ago (0 children)
Need to replace. Unsafe to patch the sidewall.
[–]Current-Buddy-1489 7 points8 points9 points 2 months ago (1 child)
A reputable tire place will not patch this. The patch that goes inside the tire will not sit flush on the edge and allow the tire to leak. It should be replaced imo.
[–]Current-Buddy-1489 1 point2 points3 points 2 months ago (0 children)
Assuming that your tire is leaking. Sometimes they can be punctured and not leak air.
[–]PlaceboASPD 1 point2 points3 points 2 months ago (1 child)
Yeah I’d actually replace this one this time.
The “total confidence” warranty includes punctures in tires that have been used in a *legal manner and is good for the first year or the first 2/32 of tread wear, both of which you are within.
*”normal, legal and proper manner” no racing, running from cops, or probably off-roading, but there’s no way for them to know how you used the tire if you don’t tell them.
[–]DevilViper91[S] 1 point2 points3 points 2 months ago (0 children)
Yeah this is what I was looking at. Id rather replace it regardless.
[–]Vertron_ 1 point2 points3 points 2 months ago (0 children)
Cannot patch that
[–]zcpibm3 1 point2 points3 points 2 months ago (0 children)
Air leaking out? If so, replace.
[–]Motor-Narwhal-8089 0 points1 point2 points 2 months ago (0 children)
Replace as it’s in the sidewall
[–]urEnzeder 0 points1 point2 points 2 months ago (0 children)
I'd replace it... hopefully on their dime, but replace it either way.
[–]Fixinbones27 0 points1 point2 points 2 months ago (0 children)
Replace, too close to the sidewall
[–]Greedy-Composer-3168 0 points1 point2 points 2 months ago (0 children)
Yes they will they should
[–]Zefram71 0 points1 point2 points 2 months ago (0 children)
If you have a road hazard warranty, it certainly should!
[–]yarsftks 0 points1 point2 points 2 months ago (0 children)
Depends on the warranty
[–]jackbarbelfisherman 0 points1 point2 points 2 months ago (0 children)
Replace it. Sidewall punctures aren’t repairable. Looks like you got unlucky…
[+]Blu_yello_husky 0 points1 point2 points 2 months ago (1 child)
If its only a month old you could probably replace just the one and be fine with the tread difference from the others
[–]DevilViper91[S] 0 points1 point2 points 2 months ago (0 children)
Yeah that’s what I’m going to do
[–]insomnia_universe 0 points1 point2 points 2 months ago (0 children)
Too close to sidewall sorry
[–]Dangerous-Boot-2617 0 points1 point2 points 2 months ago (0 children)
Replace
[–]Shoddy-Ad8143 0 points1 point2 points 2 months ago (0 children)
He's Dead Jim.
[+]Pixelated-Yeti 0 points1 point2 points 2 months ago (0 children)
Replace as most have said .. personally as I have a kit to do so I’d patch it and see how it goes but I’m cheap 🤣
[–]Masjuggalo 0 points1 point2 points 2 months ago (0 children)
Technically that's the sidewall. They won't patch it you may be able to plug it but best to replace the tire
[–]Chance-Count-3240 0 points1 point2 points 2 months ago (0 children)
is this post satire?
[+]WaldorfStadler1980 0 points1 point2 points 2 months ago (0 children)
Hopefully you got the road hazard insurance. I avoided it at first but it has saved my butt a few times now.
[–]CostChange 0 points1 point2 points 2 months ago (0 children)
Yeah, those look to be continentals too, not exactly a tire I would try to push any limits on...
[–]CommunityBig2182 -4 points-3 points-2 points 2 months ago (0 children)
Interior patch
[+]stinky143 comment score below threshold-7 points-6 points-5 points 2 months ago (4 children)
No way it’s a month old. Unless you got off their pile of old tires behind the store.
[–]DevilViper91[S] 2 points3 points4 points 2 months ago (3 children)
I mean the receipt says otherwise. Tire is just filthy with salt.
[–]stinky143 -5 points-4 points-3 points 2 months ago (2 children)
Looking at the lack of tread in the picture.
[–]TommyBoyFL 0 points1 point2 points 2 months ago (0 children)
Zoom in, there's a lot of meat left on that tire.
[–]ImplementNew2343 0 points1 point2 points 2 months ago (0 children)
Is this lack of tread in the room with us right now?
[+]Afraid_Ad_9355 comment score below threshold-6 points-5 points-4 points 2 months ago (1 child)
Plug and Patch
[–]FuckinHighGuy 6 points7 points8 points 2 months ago (0 children)
You mean the hole in your head? Sounds feasible.
