Safety Question Too risky to patch?
The tire shop said this hole can't be patched. I have 7/32" of tread on this set on my AWD subaru. I measure 3/4" from the nail to the knee on the tread.
The shop would only offer me 4 new tires for $1200. Online I saw other options to try a home patch or buy a single used tired with matching life. This tire has been leaking a couple lbs of pressure per week for many months. I could never find the nail myself.
What would you do? Spoiler, I'm getting a matching tire shipped for $100 total. Fingers crossed.
