Got my tire plugged... nail and some glass, 2 Plugs...

M340i Pride · 06-24-2011, 02:09 PM

yesterday, my right rear tire ran over a nail and broken glass in two different places... both were small punctures and i could barely see them with my eyes.

I went to a small tire place and the guy took the nails and the glass out. then he plugged both puntures.

one hole was about one third of the way from the sidewall and the other was almost in the middle.

For those who had to get their tires plugged or is thinking about getting them plugged to save (a lot of) money, I'll keep posting to let you guys know how my tire is doing as a reference.

You can bet that i wont be doing too much of racing type of driving any time soon.... its going to be more of normal everyday driving.

I've had plugs in the past without any issues. I'd be surprised if you have one as long as they were done correctly and it's difficult to do it incorrectly.
