motordavid will become famous soon enoughmotordavid will become famous soon enough
... with previous posts.

I had a nail as close or, closer than that in my old BStone Turanzas,
and my local hillbilly joint did the mushroom plug and patch; that tire
already had one patch, ...and it ran fine for quite some time, until
I tossed them all for a new set of tires.

Not sure I would go cross country with that or, do parking lot auto-crossing,
but it should work if done carefully. And, you do have your spare as a back-up
if it goes on you; it will give you time to order the new tire.
