Got nailed today! Should I replace tire or repair?
The car only has 6k miles. This is a front tire on a 1LE. Would you replace it or repair it? I don't know how long it's been in there but it hasn't lost any pressure.

Not sure if that can be patched or plugged that close to the sidewall. (here in VA they won't) You may have to get a new one.

Should I just leave it in there? Seems to be holding up pretty good lol. If there''s no risk of it blowing up at 100 mph I'll just leave it in.

LOL no I would go to a chain like Discount Tire and go from there. If you have a local buddy go that route.

It's close to the point where it can be plugged. Take it to a good place and see. I would not wait too long, something will happen eventually with that in the tire.

Do you know it's all the way through and not just stuck in the rubber. You may have lucked out.

you loose the speed rating any time the tire is patched or plugged, ok for DD but no track days
