I think I read that it's illegal to patch a sidewall.

the hole was in the thread, not the side wall. But they said because of driving with low pressure, the side wall was damaged. They showed me what looked like a white circle on the inside of the tire, on the side wall.

you might as well swap the battery, catalytic converter and steal the floor mats, spare tire, etc. when you do something, do it properly.

You're an evil genius!
We used to rent minivans for our work trips and once we had a Grand Caravan with 3,000 miles on it and the tires were worn to the steel belts! Showed the manager and he said, "I know exactly who did it...".

Only a lazy amateur would wait for tires to wear down to the steel belts to do the deed....
