New set of tires with a nail puncture in the first tread from the sidewall.Goodyear tire would not repair the tire(too close to the sidewall), but Discount Tire did repair the tire (purchased the tires from Discount).

Side wall is thinner then top of tire.|||Generally, a puncture in the sidewall = new tyre.

I repaired it myself by punching the tire repair material through the hole and releasing it. I see it when I travel with it. I've hauled 1 1/2 ton loads on the truck. It hasn't let me down.
