True. My tire shop wouldn't plug and patch it as they said it was close to sidewall so I went to Autozone and purchased a tire plug tool for 4.99 and fixed it myself. Still holding air.

If you're stuck on the road, use the goo to get you to the dealer. Works great. If not, have it flat bedded there. New tire.
