Sent it in now to see if it can be patched....
WTF how does a screw get into the side of a tire? And btw, a hole in the sidewall sounds dangerous, imo.

From what I understand, a puncture to the sidewall should not be repaired. Its not that it can't be done, it's just not advisable for safety reasons. The edges of the tires take a lot of load in turns and its right near where the edges of the belts are.

Yes, I do plan on up grading my Spyder, hopefully by next year. I'm in no rush but hanging out around here does make it very difficult to wait.

Cool, save them pennies, bro. Hell, I'm picking one up next week, and hanging here makes it tough.

I don't even have it yet, and the OG is already asking for pics.
