Can this tire be patched from the inside if I take it out? ---

NO, the hole does not go thru to the inside. ---

That is a small cut, if you had a road hazard warranty that tire may not qualify for replacement. It should be replaced if the belts are exposed. ---

They gave you a replacement and you didn’t let them install it? I’m surprised they didn’t need to keep the warranty tire. ---

I bought the tires from [discounttires.com](http://discounttires.com) I asked them do you want the old tire shipped back and was told no and to dispose properly. ---

I put a set of LT Defenders on my truck last summer, been very pleased with them. I can see why you don’t want to waste one of them, as they are a little pricey. And mine were the 15 inch version. But if I had that problem I wouldn’t drive over 25 mph with that tire. Just too dangerous. One idea, use the defective tire for a spare. If you get a flat, you can drive at 25 mph to a shop to get your flat tire fixed. You’d want to post that info on the tire too, so somebody driving your truck and gets a flat realizes the spare is only to be used for slow speed driving. ---

Really, I’ve heard of frugal before, but man they gave you a new tire, and you want to keep the wrecked tire? Just hold your breath and do the right thing. I would call Acura though to make sure 6000 is OK to match with the other three tires to avoid AWD problems. I wrecked a tire with 1500 miles on it. Cost me $300, my bad. I also had a hole in a similar spot. The thing is with the flexing of the tire, there is not much of a chance the patch would hold, so pay the $2 disposal fee. ---

The puncture tire is on the rear so there is very little wear. ---

Don’t you have all wheel drive though? That means all four of the tires need to be a matched circumference within a particular specification. If it is only front wheel drive, they will still be on the front after rotating, and the two front wheels still need to be matched similar. ---

So the tire repair kit or rubber cement is for inside tire puncture only and it is for a permanent fix? ---
