I have a screw stuck in one of my rear tires. Now I have to decide whether to try to get it repaired, buy 2 new tires, or buy 4 new tires.

I have had these tires (Michelin Pilot Sport A/S) for 5 years, and they have about 25,000 miles on them.

Thoughts?

 

as long as the screw is not in the side wall you can get it patched at Sears, or town fair what ever is near you. I just had mine patched at sears a few weeks ago, no issues.

 

+1. 25K miles on an All Season tire? That's it? Sounds like you've still got plenty of treadlife to go... plug the tire, and keep em...

 

If you can fix the tire there is little point in shopping for new tires correct?

 

Thanks for the help. I was a little unsure of how reliable a repair would be. But the tires do still have tons of tread, so I guess I'll look for someone to patch it.
