damn man that blows... i've never plugged one... i just get worried about the tire expanding under heat.... my buddies have done it before... on a brand new tire i'd do it but i'd keep under 75 on the highway and wear a little extra gear... (it would bother me cause i have OCD lol)
Re: Plug a tire?
I ve plugged a bunch of tires but i only plug when i have to..... I strongly recommend patching it from the inside its easy just take the tire off and take it to a tire shop they usaully only charge like $10 to patch and the patch will last!!!!! and you dont have to worry about it expanding in the heat like a plug!!!!
Re: Plug a tire?

Re: Plug a tire?
inside patch is ur best bet. i run plugs and patches. never had a problem i do it myself tho bc i dont trust other ppl. the one time i had a 'buddy' do a inside patch for me it didnt work... so for now on i do them all myself
Re: Plug a tire?
yea i dont know the exact name of it i call it a plug-patch cause when you put the patch over the hole it has a long plug that you pull thru the hole then you rubber cement and cut the access rubber off then got bang some WHOOLIES!!!!!!!:YEAH :YEAH
Re: Plug a tire?
Our local tire shop will only do it like that now. Re: Plug a tire?
i buy tires with holes in them all the time and plug them.....it cheap and run most of them down to the belts... never had a problem with these plugs
