Yea, I think you're 100% right - it is bull shit. I couldn't care, in a safety sense, whether a patch will hold for 40k miles or not. I've had a sidewall blow out before and it took about 3-4 seconds to have zero pressure. In that case the cause was pure and simple a road hazard. A patch (and this one is small) coming off couldn't decompress in less than a minute and would probably take two or more. Last I heard there are still road hazards out there that can give you a sidewall blow out. So replacing the tire doesn't eliminate the ever existing danger(s). Tomorrow I could run over a nail with a brand new tire, the nail not stay in, and it could decompress in just a few minutes. Or, tomorrow I could run over some accident debris with a brand new tire and still have a side wall blow out.
