a tube indicates it is totally rounded. a tire has an open side (the inside).

Since you are in Denver I would rush to Lowes, buy one of those large buckets of screws that contractors buy and make some snow tires for the G37. You already have the first one done.

Wish that were the case; tried it and it's the whole thing ~1 inch. It was either deliberate or I'm pretty against the odds. Patch it is.

Haha.

Took it to Discount Tire today and they patched it free of charge. AND I spent less than 10 minutes total in line between dropping off and picking up. First good experience I've had at one of those places in at least 4 years.
