Went to the shop, they saw the bad tire (like I was saying) they told me the hole was too close to the sidewall to patch. In so in a twist they priced out a full set of Indy 500s, & the tires I currently have (Toyo Extenza HP’s, just 2 of them). Toyo recently updated that tire (now the Extenza HP2). Their supplier has 2 of the old compound left & they where $95/tire (yay for discontinued tire).
Some epoxy floor touchups where done in the garage hence the caution tape.
Since they won’t show up until Wensday, & I don’t like driving on the spare doughnut I grabbed one winter tire from the shed to put on. The Indy 500s balanced, mounted, & tax would be $805. The 2 Toyos would be $240 all in. Right now I don’t have $800, but do have enough for the latter of the 2 options. It’s not how I planned on it going, but my wallet is going to be more happy.
It may not look great, but it works.

Was going to say don’t forget your mail-in rebate, but looks like it expired last month. Still waiting for mine.

No chance of fixing it yourself with a plug kit?

To close to sidewall to be done safely.

I don’t understand this crap, “ too close to the sidewall to be done safely? You realize that is a shop, super litigious thing right? Plus its a frickin Juke, you are not traveling at the speed of sound.......sounds like you have money to spend and don’t know s**t.... I’m serious that I get really tired of posts about someone changing their own freakin oil???? really car guy? and this shit about tires.? put a freakin plug in it, and roll for the next few days until you can afford more with your paycheck!!!!....... Jalops?I don’t think so>>>
