no, it wont hold. And you end up buying a tire anyway.

Yes a sidewall on a radial tire can be repaired depending on the size of the hole. I had a tire shop for over 20 yrs and did quiet a few sidewall repairs.
Many places will tell you no because they do not have the proper sidewall patches. You can not use a regular patch to do this.

Not safely.
Once the sidewall has been penetrated the integrity of the tire is lost. Side pressures are too great for a patch to hold and even if it looked like it will, a blowout at highway speed isn't pretty.

No. The pressure on the sidewall is too great. Sorry to hear about it.

OSHA, & DOT.....it is against the law to patch or plug a side wall of a tire, and if it is 1/2 inch from the side on the top of the tile, it is against the rules too

no
not only is it not good but most any shop will not do it because of the risk of the tire blowing out.
