Got a flat: If replacing one tire, should I replace both?
I know this has been discussed before, but I tried searching everything I could think of with no luck.
I have 20k miles on my car, with a few trackdays and driving like hell. (A hair over 3/16 inch tread depth on the rears) I got a flat today. Should I just replace the one rear, or should I replace both of them to maintain similar tread? I know if I drove a camry, or a non-performance vehicle, that having slightly differing treads doesn't matter much, but what about the camaros? I've read mixed opinions online. Thanks!

If the flat cannot be fixed, i would buy two new tires and keep the one with 20K miles as a back up

I would replace both at the same time.

Has anyone had success fixing our tires? Its just a small nail hole- they said they would fix it on a normal car but not something like this. Thanks everyone else for the thoughts!

Replace both. I just had to do this myself on my wife's baby hauler.

I'd say anymore then 5k miles on a tire and you should replace both on the same axle.
