Yes, but some places will not repair a leak in the tread if it is too close the sidewall (within an inch or so). But, other places will repair almost any leak that is in the tread. Go figure.

The correct way to repair a leak in a tire is to have a vulcanized patch placed on the inside of the tire. Do not let anyone put a plug in the tire to repair the leak.
I would think that Firestone on 466 would do the repair correctly.

The most common tire to get a leak is the right rear, cutting the corners to close on a right hand turn you tend to pick up something from the roadway.

I'd go to Quality Tire near the intersection of 466 and 27/441. It's slightly before the WaWa if you're going East on 466. They look like a real junk, hole in the wall but they do honest, excellent work. They will repair tires that a lot of other places won't. The other places will try to sell you a new tire. I've had them repair tires twice that other places wouldn't and their work was perfect.

Would recommend Sumter tire

In a previous post you were annoyed by a two-week wait for tire rotation at Sam’s?

Thanks for the great suggestions. A few weeks ago when the weather changed, the pressure in only the driver's front went way down. Pumped it up but yesterday it dropped way down again while the others were just fine.

Walmart does a good job with tires.

Sams club did right by me….

Wildwood Tire in 44 fixed my tire when I had a nail in it. I drove in saying I had a slow leak and they were able to fix it right away. Very reasonable and nice.

I would carefully inspect all of the tread to see if there is a nail or a screw in the tire. Although, if you find one, leave it in until you get to the service center.

Note that if the nail is too close to the edge, some mechanics won't repair the tire.

Sumter tire. I had a nail in my tire. $28 to plug it. I was in and out in 20 minutes.

There is a Michelin dealer on 44 in Wildwood that I used to fix a nail flat. $24.

Sumter Tire on 301 is my go to shop. Very happy with there service

[Dana1963]

I carry an air compressor, patch/plug kit and my AAA card in my car.
In a pinch, it will get me to a safe area. I do know my limitations
I've been patching and or plugging tires since I was 16.
