>>28071482Generally it's acceptable to replace just one tire if the other one on the same axle is within 2/32" tread depth of your new replacement. t. ex-tire monkey
>>28071482Yeah just get a new tire 600 miles is nothing
>>28071489is it possible to shave the tire in the shop to match the others?
>>28071551Tire rack will do that for you for a small fee, you'd have to ask your local tire shops if they can do that, it's not super common for them to have the machine to do that.
how is it still a thing that there are nails on the fucking road? and why the fuck are tires still susceptible to nails?
>>28071766Maybe because there are trillions of nails in the world? If you run proper tires the chances of getting a nail puncture go down by a lot.

>>28071785Go ask a commercial truck driver how many nail punctures he's had. It would take a long ass nail to make it through my thick ass load range E's. You're just asking for it when you run clapped out low profile high pressure welfare slicks.

>>28071766Construction beaners drive around with nails and screws spilled all over the bed of their beat up trucks. They fall out the back under the tailgate and get sprinkled all over the road
>>28071794I spend a little extra to live in nicer places. It saves money on incidental costs I've never had to deal with ever since making that decision.>mfw no nail punctures in 12 years>even contractors in family never lets screws or bolts go loose, that costs money
