This is the only way to fix it...

The downside is that a patch will affect the speedrating, and a lot of
tire shops will adjust the tire if you have roadhazard and mount a new
tire.

The thing is that the RE-71 is no longer available, so that's why I had
one of my RE-71 - 195 50 15's patched last week.
I had them mount one of my new RE-71's mounted instead of the patched
tire, but I'll keep it as a backup..

Btw, I still have 3 brand new never mounted RE-71 - 195 50 15 tires...
