Car has 1400 miles on the odometer. I pulled it out and plugged it. No hard driving for the next two months, then winter roads. I had hoped the Cup 2’s would last until spring.

I don’t think the plug is going to hold. I guess I need to order tires.

I would at least have the tire patched, unless you’re tracking it. Tracking = new tire imo

Just had a screw removed yesterday from my rear tire at only 1100 miles. They had a hell of a time getting the tire to seat back on the rim. Longest flat repair he'd had. I'm definitely not going with run flats when I replace them. Not worth the hassle.

Right now I am in heavy proposal mode. This goes in late next week then I go back on the road for a month. At that point I will buy new tires.

Unless it continues to leak, then I will order this coming week.

Just get it patched. It works better than plugs.

I've had good experience with plugs even on the edge or some other place the shops won't repair. You will know within a a few days if it's going to hold. I've tracked plugged run flats. So far so good.

Depending on where the puncture is and the angle,you can get it repaired. Picked up a nail in RF, 5,000 miles. A Firestone store dismounted it but claimed they couldn't patch it. Took the dismounted tire to Sam's club and asked what they could do. They patched it (important: DOUBLE patch - plug AND inner patch). 2,700 miles later including track days and no problems.

At least with run flats you could drive to the tire place to let them struggle with the repair.

Tire Rack says you are allowed one patch per tire and drive safely. My original set of tires had 600 miles and I got screw in the right front tire. I took it to Costco and they patched it for $10. They have the correct tire machines to do it without screwing up the wheel. Patch it and go man. Of course it depends on where the hole is though..
