I’d plug it and run until really ready. That’s too close to sidewall for shop to patch…

 

[ScottBeach]

Plugged it. I just dont trust it to hold. I drive Too many hwy miles to hope a plug holds.

Nittos going on soon.

Unrelated to new tires but.
Is anyone else forever irriated the rear axle is not centered in the wheel well?

In most vehicles that is by designed that they are not perfectly centered. Has something to do with with driveshaft torque and minimizing axle wrap so you do not "crab" down the road.

A bit more wheel time. No rubs with full left or right turn to lock and loading the corner. I do sense slightly less "feel" on center at hwy speeds

Really happy so far.

I will report mpg after a tank. Spot computer readings look about the same.

FWIW, even the toy Gladiator has the rear axle offset.

Okay. First 1000 miles with the nittos.
Amazing in heavy florida rains and off road

Quiet as stock. - wife confirms.

Mpg dropped from 22.3 (245/75/17) to 19.7 (255/80/17)
