But neither would do it. They said there’s some special liner inside the tires such that they couldn’t patch it like a “normal” tire.
Don’t know if that contributes to the tire noise or not, but I agree they can be noisy.

Yeah, it's BS. It's some super light insulation that you can scrape away and apply a patch. . I had the same issue once. I went to AutoZone and bought a plug kit and just plugged it.
