patching Nittos? I have the DR II autocross tire from nittos that had a nail go in it. It went in about the center of the tread. Can you patch these tires? They do see some track use so I am concerned that a patch will not hold when you take the psi down when at the track.

I have the same tires and had one patched, but I only use them on auto-x courses which don't heat up the tire that much as opposed to running on a road course.
Mine are holding up fine.
Are you using them at the drag strip? On the front or rear of the car?
These aren't designed for drag racing since the sidewalls are much stiffer and won't wrinkle like a drag radial.
