Default 2013 427 vert tire help 335/25 zr 20

Hello, I am in need of some help from the forum. I have 2013 427 vert with OEM 335/25 ZR 20 Rear tire with nail near side wall. Car has 7000 miles and I can't seem to find same tire or I'm looking wrong places. Will I need to replace both rear tires to keep them matched if I can't find one, I'm just not sure what I should do. Sorry for huge photos

It's not that close to the sidewall. You sure it can't be patched? I would definitely replace both tires at the same time, especially the rears. Good luck!

Just experienced this today on my daily driver Maxima. I'm going to see of I can get it patched just put the tires on less than 1k miles ago. I agree with the previous post if you have to replace that tire I would replace both. Have you tried TireRack or Discount Tire?

Thank you, going to drive to shop And check see if they can fix it, it’s got to be border line. I’m out in the mountains big Maryland so I’m not sure what they capabilities are out here.
I belive if it can’t repair I may just replace all with all season Michelin as they are 7 years old.
Thanks again

Glad you could get it patched. At 7 years old they are nearing their end of life. High performance rubber doesn't age well. Only 1000 miles per year, you need to drive it more!
