Oldest daughter got a screw in a tire over the labor day weekend. Walmart was the only place open and wouldn't fix it. They said it was in the shoulder. The shoulder is defined as the last "row" of tread on the outside of the tire.
The problem here is that the last row on her tires is very wide. The puncture was a little more than an inch off the side. Since she had to go back to school I stuck a plug in it for the time being and sent her off. The car won't be home till the first of next month. She's about 200 miles away.
What should I do? Find a matching tire where she is and have them put it on? Wait till she gets home and have a reputable shop try and patch it and replace if necessary? Or just let it ride with the plug? I've run many a mile on plugs myself but do prefer patches.
BTW, Walmart was more interested in selling me a mismatched tire than anything else. They didn't even take the tire off the car to look at it. Also her tires have less than 4,000 miles on them.

Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
