So I ran over a little stick today and was thinking about just pulling it out and plugging the tire because I hate fooling with tubes. Y’all have any luck doing this or should I just put a tube in it and be done with it?

thats well beyond anything a plug will do. You probably are going to need and new tire and/or rim.

Tire plugs are for holes made with by nails or thorn and are relatively small. They work well for these applications.

That was actually at a buddy of mines tire store. When I walked in and saw it the first thing I asked him was how many people died in that frick up.
He said a couple of guys were riding along on a ranger at about 17 mph and hit this and came to a dead stop. Did not hurt anyone.

Pretty crazy how something so blunt would go into a tire.

I've never seen a cypress knee go into a tore, I've seen one yank the front suspension off of a 300 honda

Honestly, I'd just keep rolling with it, and air it up on an as-needed basis.

Don't fix it if it aint broke!

Some bubble gum and duct tape should get you going

Just trim it flush with the tire and leave it in. A can of tire slime will seal the rest. That rim damage is really just cosmetic. You might have to repair the suspension every few days, but that is normal.

Might use a large/x-large rubber dong as a "sticky plug" in this scenario.

Tires just don't last like they did in the good ole days.

And that rim don't look like it was top quality either.
