When I saw it splitting on the outer edge of the tread, or where tread used to be, I bought new to me used tires.

I lost 20 minutes Saturday morning getting those used shoes. It's a beater. And I beat the hell out of it, more so than anyone else here does with any car they have. I can promise you that.

I tracked my 987 at Spa with a plug in it..
came back did 240 on the high way , still with that plug in it.

As long as it's in the flat thread, not in the sidewall.. and installed properly, taking time to bore out the hole.. having a clean puncture to start with...clean install.. those things hold just fine.
