go to more of a low end tire shop... not discount or michelin... thats there job (Its called an upsale) and if anything ask them why can they brush down the old patch and apply a larger swath for both... good luck and the cheap shops may be quicker and will def be less expensive!Have a new set of continental tires on my car i got a nail in it had it patched?
It could be an I-CAR rule. There are certain procedures to patching a tire and then I-CAR has guidelines to follow. If the tire store follows those guidelines, they can't be sued. It could also be tire manufacture guidelines. Ask them how much they will pro rate the tire. If they have less than a few thousand miles, they should replace it for free. Or at least 70 to 80% off.
