Damaged rear tire
I have a rear tire that went flat because of a puncture. It is not repairable. 2017 Stingray Z51 3100 miles on rear tires with 3/32" off tires. So do I need 2 tires or is it safe to replace the damaged tire only.

3100 miles? I normally get around 30K on my C7's tires....

Definately wouldn't buy 2 if only one is damaged. They should be nearly new still.

You'll be fine. Especially since it is the rear.

One tire was damaged beyond repair. His question was did he need to buy two tires? He said the tire had 3100 miles on it. I responded that I commonly get 30K on mine...... ergo he did not need to buy two tires - just one.

My Chevrolet Dealer agreed I did not need to buy 2 tires. Ordered 1 Michelin Pilot SS ZP from Tire Rack with free shipping to my local installer. When I need to replace all 4 tires I will not buy Zero Pressure tires. I ran non ZP's on my C6 and was happy with performance and the price.
