Came out to the garage this morning to find a flat tire on the truck ('15 200 series). Pulled wheel off, found a hardened concrete nail sticking out, rats. Location is right at the edge of the tread, see photo. Tire is a BFG KO2 LT285/70R17, still plenty of meat left on it, ~10/32" or so. All 5 tires on the truck have the same wear.
I put a rope plug in it, re-installed, just to see if it will hold air with weight on it. Looking for advice to see if it would be safe/OK to run. These will be swapped out to my winter wheels/snows about about 6 weeks, so I guess I could put it up as the spare until then, then decide what to do in the spring.
