just put a plug in it. i have plugged many of my tires because it would never seen to fail. new tire and get a new nail or screw right after. one time i picked up a tapcon concrete screw. it took 2 plugs in just the one hole to plug that one. i did replace that tire thought hahaha. and your tire size is 180/50/17

As you become more experienced, it gets more expensive. My 2cts are usually done by 3000 mi. If you haven't been to rad's in brandon, you should. I get two tires mounted for what it costs for one at a steelership.

seriously man, if the tread is still good plug it man like Cecil and sl2racer mentioned. I have NEVER IN MY LIFE heard of a REAL story of someone who knew someone even that has had a plugged tire cause them to wreck. Do it or take the anal raping buying a new rubber and dont make a post afterwards whining how much you spent on a part you dont really need
