Replaced all 4 on my SUV. Had a nail in one tire on rear and 3

the other rear tire. Objects were a nail, a screw driver head and a big thorn. They won't repair one if the nails or objects are too close together. Had bought them at Costco about 5 years earlier and they had no record of them because of the date. Needless to say I don't drive it a lot. Ended up buying new ones elsewhere because Costco said they could not get them? Special size.

Might be a sign of taking turns too fast if it's going in the side ** -- Bleedin OandM 03/26/2017 1:18PM

Might be a sign for road hazard insurance -- TomTurkey 03/26/2017 2:09PM

Yeah, I'm the proud owner of a new tire right now ** -- `lag 03/26/2017 1:18PM

Be thankful it's not a Subaru. With the AWD they require you replace all 4 -- Stork 03/26/2017 12:00PM

Actually thought about buying a Suburu -- `lag 03/26/2017 1:14PM

It's a much harder tire if anything. Look at the wear ratings -- USN_Hokie 03/26/2017 3:06PM

Yeah, that's a trade-off... -- `lag 03/26/2017 1:33PM
