Tire Plug.

136,709 miles.

I finally got over to America's Tire to have the nail removed from the left rear. These guys are great and highly recommended. Not only did they remove the nail and plug the hole, it was absolutely free. 

These Michelin Latitude Tour tires (P235/70R16) were new in March 2013 and rated for 65k miles. Currently all four tires are at 5/32" tread depth with about 5 years / 50k miles on them.
