Default Are the RE040's patchable?

I have a screw in my tire, it's not leaking any air. But I'd like to get it fixed. One place told me it's not patchable, and said I should buy a new tire. Any opinions?

i think any tire can be patched, i just would not want the patch to fail going 100 mph.

Default Patches (the kind where they take the tire off and patch the inside) are actually very strong.

I wouldn't worry about that type of patch too much..

granted, you'd prolly want to get a new tire soon if you plan to track the car or do excessive amounts of high-speed driving ;-)
