got a flat in Canada in the middle of no where. Had my emergency tire repair kit from az. Came with plugs little compressor fix a flat and shit like that. Pluged the tire, and sat in the grass next to the side of the road and ate a sadwich. Finished eating than hooked up the little compressor. Filled the tire up with air than drove off with the intention of replacing the tire when i got home. One year later i still had the same tire. But by that time it was time to replace all 4 so it was no biggie. Its kind of a tossup man.
Nah it would be a free tire if it was a minor accident as I have low deductible full coverage, and an accident would give me an excuse to get something cooler!
Well I am leaving for 2 weeks. I will make a decision after I have had time to relax. I am probably just going to drive the truck for the next couple days, and leave the car sitting.
Can someone explain how plugging it is going to lead to a blowout? I can see the plug possibily failing and the slow leak coming back but a total blowout seems unlikely, which is why I said I’d plug it. Maybe I’m missing something? I’ve broken belts in tires, even had a trailer tire tread separate on me, but I’ve never seen a modern steel belted radial tire under street conditions suffer a crash inducing blowout.
Doubt he will crash. but the likelyhood of a belt snapping increases with a plug in the side. But as far as anything major happening…Well I doubt that.
