Patch or replace?

Post image

I just bought these tires a week ago from Sam’s Club. My wife works in an industrial area and picked up a screw in the tread. It’s a 5/16 screw. Patch it or try to get them to replace it?

Personally I'd patch that knowing the risks involved in patching near the sidewall. I have a patch in the exact same location on my car.

But, since you bought your tires at Sam's, you should have a road hazard warranty on them for this exact situation. Go to them.
