ET street w/a hole in it: Tube & run it or new tire?

Must've ran over something b/c 1 of my ET streets now has a small hole in it. Should I tube it & run it or just get another tire?

No tube at all.This can raise the operating temperature of the tire and cause a complete failure at high speed.

Patch and plug if the hole hasn't caused damage to the steel belts.If the hole is anything but a simple round hole like you would get from a nail,replace the tire.
