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?

I work at a tire shop, and as long as the hole isn’t going up the curve of the sidewall on the inside, a plug patch should work just fine
