Caught a nail

[greeneinc]

Ride on it to get to tire shop and have it replaced. There is nothing like having that feeling the plug will come out when you riding around a corner, just makes you really unsure.

REPLACE IT, you could save a couple bucks ($150) and possibly die or cut out your morning double mocholate at starbucks for a couple of weeks to save up for a new tire. I won't risk injury to save money. A good tire is like good gear, would you wear a helmet that was missing a chunk on the side?

Patch plug is the only wat to go, if your going to try using the tire.

 

[MET]

depends how many miles left on the tire. Any thng 1/2 or less just get a new tire.

 

[Krieg]

I would replace it irreguardless of mileage.

I say replace it now! If you ever had a broken bone. You wouldn't want to endure the pain because of $150.00

It depends on how hard you ride and how much tread is left on the tire....I would patch it and keep an eye on it

Not to mention a trip to the morgue

I just put a set of Avons on my bike and ran over a nail. Dealer suggested plugging, so thats what I did. 3000mi. of highway and Deals Gap, no problems. The down side was $70 to take tire off bike, plug, then re-balance.

Pac, I gotta tell ya, that one I wouldn't plug.
