That is a simple fix. Just take it to Discount Tire and they will patch it in the inside for free.

I have certificates on my tires so Discount will always patch for free and then balance free. However, I have put insert plugs in the tread where a nail or screw has been removed many times. Never had any of them leak again. If my tire was still pretty good, I would do it again.

If you have a tubless, you could always add some Ride_On as a backup:

speaking of plugging Can you recommend a good " on the go " plug kit?

TIA

This is the one that I have used. Several different tires and never a leak or issue with any of them.

 

Why would you do that? I was always told that the newest tyres should be on the rear. In fact Costco here (UK) will only fit new tyres to the rear or, if replacing front tyres, will rotate them to the rear.

 

If you decide to replace your tire at least buy in pairs if you're not prepared to purchase (4).
Depending on the wear they may recommend (4) on a AWD.

 

You, and your UK Costco, are right. It is a common misconception that the best tires should be on the front on the vehicle. I think the theory is that it helps with steering. "Studies have shown," though, that non-professional drivers are significantly better at handling understeer situations than oversteer. When the rear end starts to slide in a turn, very few non-professional drivers can correct for it.
