My fronts are completely bald, so I'm going to wait until I can get ahold of a new set of fronts (and likely rears) all at the same time. Not sure if I want to drive across the bay on this micro-doughnut just for a patch, eeeek.

i knew those tread patterns looked familiar lol.
So that's about 12-16 hours of mountain runs per month.
Average mileage from new to bald is 5k on my tires.
that's a lot of driving

So here's my plan of action.
I ordered front and rear Star Specs today.
On Thursday, I will install all four Star Specs (assuming tire rack delivers them by Thursday AM).
America's Tire does free patch/plug, because I am a customer.
I will have them evaluate, and patch if possible, then take the 50% Sumitomos home, and install them after the Star Specs wear out.
Does this sound like a good plan.
Is it ok for a half used tire to sit for 1-2 months before putting it back on, especially if was just plugged before storage?
