1 new 1 Old tire = problem?
So I have a VIR event coming up on Monday ... last week i found a Nail in my left rear tire..... I Knew I could not fix it and ordered a new one... When the new one came in I realized how much my orginal tire was worn I would think compared to the new tire the old one is at about 35% tread left .... not to the ware bars yet.... Does anyone think there is an issue running one brand new and one well used tire on the track?

Last week I ran 2 old race tires and 2 new race tires different brands it was fine. I didn't have problems until I blew an old race trire then had two new race tires, one old race tire and one street tire! They were three different sizes too. I bet you will be fine.

Boy .... 3 different sizes.... some would argue you would have screwed up your rake ..... would have a loose or tight condition and all heck would have broke loose.... but good to hear it all worked out... Thanks for the update I am quite sure my 4 same brand 1 new tires will be just fine based on your data :-)

I would just plug the old one, move it to the inside, and keep trucking.
However, unless the old one is total junk, I agree with rbl....just put the new one on the loaded side and forget about it.
