Glad there is no leak. If it does start to leak a patch should do the trick. That is right on the edge of repairable or not but if they do have to make the repair be sure to get a patch not a plug. Discount Tire does BOTH to each hole (plug AND patch).

Best of luck.

But, the last time I did that, it was for a 1986 Grand Am back in 1996!!!

It looks painful...

yup, we still do that. and it's very reliable. i trust it over a patch for sure, but i wouldnt plug or patch that tire its too close. not worth the risk imagine getting stuck on the way to vegas w/a flat tire cuz the patch came un-done or the plug pops out. NEW TIRE!
