Took the truck to my parents for thanksgiving, went out friday morning to do some grocery shopping and took the monte carlo, pulling into the driveway i spot this in my tire.
Figuring it may not be all the way in, just a sharp shard possibly sprayed soapy water on it and no bubbles, sweet, give it a little tug and it starts leaking And i proceed to pull out the entire allen wrench
Luckily i have a full size spare on a matching wheel, unfortunately the tire is different (toyo open country) but toss it on and typical chain tire places oh thats to dangerous to patch, have been hunting high and low to find a single tire to replace it with, these are still around 50-60% so i hate to drop the money (470ea) on a brand new tire, but finding the same tire, same size and used is like pulling teeth, even looking at an entire decent used set off craigslist if the price is right but seems to be a hard size to come by. So have a buddy who's got contacts at nitto who said its pluggable there as these are a 10ply tire with a 4ply sidewall, first plug didnt hold but with a very slight leak, so pulled that out and redid it a little different this morning, gonna let it sit and see what happens, atleast to hold me off till i can get something else
So if anyone has or knows someone that has a 35x12.5x20LT nitto trail grappler M/T at around the 14/32" range i'm very interested
Atleast my spare wheel matches
