I plugged the hole, but it is right on the edge of new tires/not new tires. I routinely drive 95 on the interstate and I don't want to die, so should I just spring for all new tires?


Doubt you know how to insure a plug holds if you routinely drive 95 on the interstate on ATs, but ya, go ahead and replace all tires. They'll see you coming.

No legitimate place will patch or plug it, liabilty reasons. Patch will not hold and cannot be applied correctly in that bend. Plug could or could not hold, up to you. Did you coat it with rubber cement, baw?

Yes, I've put plugs in tires before they've held up for the duration. I haven't ever put one on an edge or sidewall though, hence the thread.

Boats, it has barely a little egg right where I put the plug. Hasn't lost any pressure still. My mom is really close to the family who owns the tire shop, so I'm pretty sure they won't screw me over. They have given me my last four sets for their cost (a good bit under magazine/online prices)


Probably just gonna end up cutting my fenders and running some 39.5" Boggers. Go big or go home
