So I've had a slow (~1 psi/week) leak in one tire for a few months. I could never find the source and hadn't had the time to take the tire off to find it. I finally found it and it is a fine "nail" in the very inside edge of the tread. Discount tire won't repair it, and I know tread edge repairs are not usually recommended but was wondering how you would likely proceed? I've got about 16k miles on my OEM Pirelli's - tread looks great so was hoping to get at least 30k out of them.
1) just continue driving and air it up every few weeks?
2) Plug it myself
3) Replace with same Pirelli's (would need to replace 2) for~$430 each
4) Replace 2 with Michilin Defenders for ~$360 each
I do have a few long trips planned for this summer, so am a bit worried about just leaving it and getting stranded if it breaks loose then. I don't have a spare.
