Dweet Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Not sure if its a good idea but i have a tiny tine tiny hole in my front tire towards the middle of my front tire. Not even 2k miles on it so I really dont want to replace it unless absolutely necessary... size is 120/60-17. Opinions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Buy a new tire. Don't take the risk of blowout while riding to save some money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cptn janks Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 if the hole is in the tread and not in the sidewall, then a plug is fine to get you where you wanna go, or until you get a new tire or whatnot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRed05 Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 I bought and used this on my bike tire. Been running it all year. I didnt get the one with the CO2 inflation, but I bet that could come in handy when your stuck on the side of the road. I have the one with the gun, it works really well http://www.stopngo.com/motorcycle.asp#tireplugger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
35RFTW Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 I don't know if you are on Ohio-Riders, but I ahve dicussed this numerous times over there. Replacing that time is a lot cheaper than replacing your skin if something happens to that plug and you go down because of it. PM me and I will give you a killer deal on tires if it will keep you from using a damn plug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
