Gave me a lot to think about.
I do have spare, not in the best shape. I’m leaning toward replacing both now.

Plan on moving, somewhere in the S.E. Corner of the in the next year, or 3. Will be about 140 miles or so each way. That means lots of trips, loaded and pulling a single axle trailer.
I love my 23 year van with about 145K miles on it. Think it will make it.
Next step is to find the 15 inch tires. Was at Costco today and they no longer sell them.

Seems to me you have 2 options - tube the damaged tire or new tire. I wouldn't trust a used tire. walkingman Jul 2023 #5

Never had a problem with a plug either - depends on how close to the sidewall it is. walkingman Jul 2023 #8

Me too. Can't stand having to use one of those "space-saver" tires. Silent Type Jul 2023 #13
