Believe it or not,I'm really interested in why people think that a tire will blow up if you patch it. I've heard this pov before.
Btw sometimes the repair is stronger than the original part. A weld is stronger than the steel it holds together.

alls im saying that in the rare event that there is extraordinary stress on a tire for whatever reason the first area to fail is going to be that which has a deformity.
I'm not saying the tire will blow out, per say, but it has a greater risk of failing in any way than that of an unscathed tire.
Just playing devils advocate here.
