"one side's bald"

 
Naturally, and justifiably, they won't repair a tire if it's been mistreated or been on wheels out of alignment. If one side is bald it means that your car was not riding properly, causing uneven wear on the tire. Of course sears won't repair/replace it! Get a new tire and fix the issue so that it doesn't buggar the next tire.

So you don't value your life enough to justify purchasing new tires? You could just buy one new tire, although pretty stupid, for about $50
 
I stopped buying tires from Sears after I went through two sets of Goodyears FAST because of the very poor balancing and alignment jobs they did. In one case, both front tires were bald on the inside edge in just 7000 miles!

I go to a locally owned tire shop now and have switched to Bridgestone tires. MUCH better.
 
If your that cheep go to Pick Your Part and get two used tire/wheel combos.
That way when one blows out you'll have a straight spare...................
