In one episonde of Big Bang, Sheldon’s brother says to never patch but actually always buy new. Why? Wats wrong with driving a patched tyre? Does it depend on where the patch is?

If the puncture is in the sidewall or outer portions of the tread, then you’ll need a new tire

If it’s not, then you could temporarily patch it, but it’s still better to have a new tire
