Nail in my tire
I took it to a mechanic that said the nail didnt go all the way through and it doesnt need to be fixed. I call BS...
My air pressure goes down about 1psi every other day. What should I do?

I would get a patch put on the inside of the tire. When using a plug, the belts could be seperated.

That's exactly where my tire got a nail just like yours, must be twins. Tire serviceman said it didn't go all the way through and I wasn't loosing pressure. However it did go through, I pulled it out and plugged it for temporary until I get a new tire. That spot looks like it on the corner which means they would not want to patch it unfortunately. Plan on getting a new tire buddy.

Any discount tire will fix it for free.

My Pirelli's are nail magnets. I think i've had 3 or 4 in the 1.5yrs i've had the car. My tire shop fixes mine for free since he's s good friend and I've always bought tires from them. They also know they'll get more $$ when these things wear out. They don't use plugs either. Every tire gets broke down and a patch installed. I'd definitely go that route.
