frustrating isn't it, I had the same on a set a nail right in the shoulder that couldn't be repaired.
Strange one that you can't see any evidence of puncture, it will be worth taking it to the garage to see if they can find the puncture as it may be repairable, not if it is the on the sidewall though.

i wouldnt normally, but funds wont allow

i trust the fitter to match it as close as,

its to heavy for "happy cornering" so wont be such an issue

I think that with a month old tyre and replacing just the one is fine, there is gonna be such a minor difference that you wouldn't notice it on a road car, replacing both would just be wasting money.

I think people get too hemped up on what other people 'recommend' scare-mongering and its usually based on a track car or similar where small differences make a difference.
