Hey everyone,
So i was thrilled to see this guy in my tire the other day..


I have been told it's not repairable. (or is it?)

Question is.. i have about 80-85% tread on these rear tires (295/25/20 Mich PSS)
Am i ok just replacing the one or am i going to have to replace both?

Thanks in advance.

No, its not repairable (too close to the edge of the tyre) and you will be fine just replacing the one.

What tyre pressure are you using? that tyre looks a bit scuffed up on the shoulder.

Thanks for the replies.

I had to bite the bullet and buy a new tire.. just a hard pill to swallow. It was one expensive screw. I wanted to eventually buy a taller series tire when they needed to be changed but not this soon..

As for pressure i assume they were 35ish all around as i never saw any tpms lights..

that's rough man. had an off road tire on my tundra that picked up a screw in the same spot.. since it's on the "shoulder" of the tire they say it reduces integrity. if you were to hit a pothole/debris at a good clip you may be more likely to have a blowout. it sucked but with kids the car, why risk it. probably a small chance it would happen but …. even when things are 1 in a million, there's always that one poor soul.

rest assured your moneys as well spent. road hazard isn't a bad option if you get a fair amount of life outta your tires.

one reason to get 18" wheels i guess.. cheaper tires!

back to enjoying the car, have fun!
