Default Is this Tire OK to Drive on for 2 months?

I'm going to buy some new Rims in 2 months.... and one of my tires got a nail in it... so I take out the spare, and I see this spot on the inside of the tire (I bought this car used)

So... Do you think this is OK to drive on for 2 months??

I'd say yes - but no hard driving.

thanks for the reply... Actually I took my car to discount tire, and they fixed the tire with the nail on it, and said it was fine....

So I'm going to use that tire instead...

Looks like it scraped a curb and the damage didn't hit the cord. So I'd say they'd be fine. You might want to check to make sure it didn't lose air before you stow it back in your trunk.

Good deal. Always best to have a questionable tire inspected rather than take a chance.
