i've got a nail on one of my rear tires. the tire still has ~50% thread life left. it will just be strictly for street use. is this okay to do on R compound tires? damn Corsas cost $600 each for the 305/19s.

I'd have no concerns about fixing it, unless it is in the sidewall. I've fixed half a dozen tires without a problem. One on a TT, the latest on my C2S.
