my rear tire is plugged, is it safe to still do wheelies? it really doesnt matter now because there is ****ing snow on the ground but i was just wondering.

 

yes it is i cut a peice off of the side and put silicon on it and shoved it in the hole with a small screw driver and still holds air to this day
and that was over the summer

 

when it gets hot you never know...

 

my rear tire has been plugged for 5000 miles.... no problems whatsoever

 

rollin burnouts all day long until tire blows with two plugs
keep riding

 

i patch mine all day long and have never had one problem! alot of my boys plug theirs and ride that **** till it dies!

I read in a bike magazine that bike tires are ok to plug. You're just not suppose to go over 80 mph on it the tire afterwards.

 

I plug 'em all the time.. no problems at all... 160mph+ never a problem.. If possible a patch plug is your best bet but the tire needs to be off the rim

 

ive never had a problem with plugging tires. just ride that sh#t.

 

thats just too much work

 

plug the all the time and ride like there is no tomorro

 

I plugged my old tire and rode the HELL outta it for a couple thousand miles and got up to 145 without a problem!

That one finally went bald, showin' threads, so poped on a used tire that I had to pull the screw out. Since it was off the rim, I went ahead and patched it...No problems so far....

RIDE THAT BEEEOOOTCH!

 

no problems here too. Plugged 1500+ miles ago.

 

We save plugged tires for shows. We usually whind up burning them off anyway. I've only heard of one person having a problem with a plugged tire, but you know how that goes, there'll be 50 posts on here about NOT having problem but it's the one that had a problem............DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA

I had plug come out during a burnout, put a new one and and kept on keepin' on!! I just wouldn't go on any long trips with one in, but that's me?

 

My tires are allways plugged never bothers me!!!

 

Ride that $hit until you can't. I would suggest a patch plug. I got over 3000 miles off one. However, I got buddies who have got more miles with just the plug alone. The only thing is that the tire is no longer Z- rated (safe over 100 mph) after a patch has been applied.

 

The second year I had my bike was the worst year for plugs.

I wound up with like 6 plugs in the rear tire. I wasn't good at stunting, I was just trying power wheelies.

Now I have 2 plugs in my rear tire. They hold up as long as the hole isn't huge!

I have never plugged the front and don't know if I would ride with a plug on the front tire.

Anyone plug and still ride the front tire?!?!

Someone tried to explain about the centrifugal force being able to pull out the plug but I don't believe theres enough force to pull out the mass of the plug INSIDE the tire.

 

Damn, i could barely reach 3,000 miles on a rear tire before the cords would show

 

Damn i cant believe you guys ride until the cords show. By the time i get low tread my f*cking tire is so decompounded that i cant get **** for traction.

 

shut up and ride sauce ive seen shugga ride all day on a plug and so have i
