Reply to "Grrrr-nail in my 305/50-15" :("

I took my wheel and tire to Discount Tire this morning and they declined to repair the tire because it was more then 10 years old. They were concerned that the bead on the tire would fail when it was remounted on the rim. The tires are in great shape so I did not want to toss them.

They referred me to a "Hispanic Tire Store" that would not ask too many questions and plug the tire.

I want to make the currently mounted BF Goodrich 305/50-15's last a little while longer, since there is plenty of tread remaining on them. Since I have 4 brand new Toyo Proxies ST's in the 295/50-15" size stored in my garage, I will go ahead and mount those in a year or two.

I really like the look of the factory 8's and 10's in the 15" size, so I want to make these wheels and tires last as long as possible.
