Help - what would you do.

[rabb11d]

Picked up a chunk of metal in a tire this morning. Discount tire wouldn't fix it.

2016 ram 2500

Would you plug it yourself?
Buy 1 new tire?
Buy 2 new tires so they match side to side?

Truck tire, trailer tire, does it haul your wife and kids?

I'd go to a big truck tire shop like snider tire and have them fix it with a patch plug.

Truck, yes.

Tires look good enough to only buy one tire and roll on.

Looks to me like it’s in that last sipe next to a shoulder. A lot of tire shops won’t plug those.

don't you usually buy a new truck when the tires get worn?

Ain't that something... want to buy it and cut it in half?

Truck tire places will removed and vulcanize a patch on the inside (usually) YMMV

Patch plug x whatever. I've fixed a bunch at work that way.

 

[jeepinmatt]

I'd stick a plug in it and roll. If it doesn't leak, you'll be fine. If it leaks, then think about a new tire.

 

[R Q]

Plug it, put it on the rear and run it!

 

[rabb11d]

I found a place that would patch it this afternoon. Back up and running.

Thanks for the advice, feel better about the patch job now.

It's on the back and I seldom tow. Never tow heavy. (No I dont need a 2500, but i like it)

This forum has all lifes answers. (Even the wrong ones) [emoji481]

Shops will generally patch/vulcanize it, as long as it's in the tread area. Not in the sidewall. Some just want to sell you a new tire!

 

[Tim C]

And I wouldn't be scared of towing with a patch plug in a tire. I've done it before.

 

[shawn]

Just keep an eye on it for a busted band.

Bite me, did it from my phone in the app. Didn't realize it was in swap meet section.
Feel free to cut all my tires and have @jeepinmatt burn my house down.
Yesterday was a bad day.

Everything but the biting - social distancing.

Hope today is better.

I see you already patched it (which is what I would have done) but why don't you swap it out fore the spare. That way you only have to run it in an emergency situation.

Like most of us, his fullsize spare is probably already suspicious.

I have after market wheels and 35" toyo at's, the spare is factory stuff.
