Swapped over to all season rubber today and found a nail in my right rear summer tire -
Guess I will be making a run to Firestone tomorrow to get it patched.
BTW - 16 wheels look really small.

I dropped off the tire and ran to breakfast during the wait.
When I returned to pick up the tire there was a long line. As I stood there waiting, I noticed the below on the invoice. Notice when they say I dropped off the tire.
