Patch plugs.
Use one of these and you can keep that tire on there until the wear bars are up. Best of luck!

I did the plug patch combo on my last tire on Isabelle.

Mike still has the same tire and going strong. Mine too was near the center portion of the tread. Yours is smack dab in the exact center.

That does suck though. I got my nail in the tire with about 150-200 miles on the new one. So aggravating.

Yup, 3000 miles since I got the bike, plus whatever Nate put on the tire after he had it patched. Hold's air like a champ still.
