    I got an unfixable flat on a LT265/75/16 Cooper ST/Maxx - the rest of the tires have about 9/32 tread left on them - for a variety of reasons I'd rather not need to replace all 4 tires at the moment, and considering the tread depth, Im not sure 1 new tire is the way to go either. ( I can't find a used one online)

    What would you do and why? Replace all 4? replace 2? 1 new one.... or 1 used replacement in the same size but different brand?

    The truck is mostly used on the farm lately, I might take it camping a couple times before leaving the country for 4 months this winter.. hence not really wanting to buy a new set of tires, but I also don't want to waste money on a single tire.. if that would be the case.

    Anyway, I'd love to hear others input, thanks!

    Yeah that could be the move- Id be committing to staying with the STMAXX, but I'd have a full sized spare for next time.

    I realized I've just been lurking for years when I tried to make a post and didn't have an account :p

    That helped thanks.

    I'm not in love with the ride quality of the STMAXX and I don't put many non-fun miles on the truck anymore so I'm less worried about lifespan (assuming no holes) of the tires than I was when I bought these. If a used replacement with similar wear doesn't pop up soon, ill make the move to a different set of tires.

    What about it is unfixable?

    Yeah. If I wasn't rock crawling, I'd break the bead, patch that myself and just keep an eye on it.
