I had a large screw in my middle tire tread and went to a tire shop and they plugged it.Will this hold up?
Ive never had a problem with a plug. Like undisputed said, keep an eye on it though. After a week or normal if its fine, then dont worry about it.
And, a lil off topic for this thread..but, Adidas, CONGRATS ON THE 2011 5.0!! I BET U ARE COUNTING THE DAYS TILL U GET THE BEAST!!!!
thanks!.. and yeah, its KILLING me. I wish I had a day to count down to! ....but I havent gotten my vin or build date yet... in good time tho
There is a type of plug that looks like a patch with a stem. They take the tire off the rim and put the stem through the hole and seal the patch down with glue. Then the excess is trimmed off the outside and the tire remounted. This is a better fix. Stabbing a tire with that sticky string IMHO should be considered a temporary repair and the procedure is outlawed in most European countries. The tire heats up quite a bit when driving on the highway and can cause the plug to fail leading to a blow out. Thats the last thing you want at 70 MPH. My advice, patch it correctly or replace the tire. Good luck.
