OK, I am 99% sure you can't fix this with a patch, but I just want someone else's take on it. I got a screw in the sidewall of one of my triler tires. It is toast isn't it?

It is Toast, can't fix a nail or screw hole in a side wall and make it hold. Buy a new tire.

Thanks guys, that is what I thought. Bummer, pretty new tire. It was almost a successful first trip out for the season!!!!!!!
I just did the same thing on a new SUV tire - cost me $170 to replace. There goes the new tackle for 2009.

Personally I would not fix a trailer tire with a hole in the sidewall. I have fixed a car tire with a hole in the sidewall. I took it to a tire shop and they put a boot in the side wall over the nail hole. Then they installed an inner tube.The cost was $30 I suppose you could do a trailer tire but a trailer does not distribute a load on all four corners like a car so that is why I would advise not to do a trailer tire but...it can be done
The cost of a new tire is lower than putting on new fenders when the patch comes off.
i would not trust any side wall repair.
