If you have to drive home on it, the goal is to keep the tire from heating up. The colder the tire, the better the plug will hold.

I might be tempted to buy the one tire. Different tread on left and right rear tires for 500 miles is probably better than risking the blow out. Then you only have to load up one tire to take home with you, which might actually fit in the hatch depending on how full it is.

Dude... I am driving on a constantly leaking front driver side tire on the Civic. it's almost bald and slowly leaks to the point of needs air every 2-3 days. This tire is still seeing daily use at 60mph for over 20 miles a day. It's been like this for over half a year.

Your tire is def safe. Don't worry. Take it easy and the tire will survive the 500 miles easily.

I am getting some pos tire from discount to get me home. I cannot risk my gf :/

Trunk is packed so I'm figuring out how I'm going to get the tire home. It was a nail but I didn't get any hazard protection. I'm probably going to scrap it here. **** me. Such is life

njobe89 · 05-25-2016, 10:15 AM

hey if it goes out get your gf to push the car problem solved lol

Ghostvette · 05-25-2016, 10:45 AM

While it might be okay for around town driving, I wouldn't risk it on a 500 mile trip at highway speed. Rear tire blowout at that speed is not something to mess with.

mishuko · 05-25-2016, 12:20 PM

Any blow out at hwy speed with a packed hatch is asking for trouble

I need the peace of mind and an extra hole in the wallet

So my rears having different tread patterns will be interesting but heck atleast it's a 285/35.

And when I'm home I'll have to figure out what to do with the tires now

mishuko · 05-25-2016, 05:24 PM

300 miles to go! Taking a break. Resting my eyes and grabbing gas. Little bit of pull bht it's not terrible. Tire probably was a bit slip from break in. Not bad at all now.

mishuko · 05-25-2016, 05:25 PM

Btw thanks for everyone's input. Appreciate the fam here.
