[QUOTE="GT Premi, post: 12106944, member: 121775"] OP, a plugged tire is just fine. I've used plugs plenty of times and have never had a problem with them. One time on this S10 SS that I had years ago, I got a two inch [i]gash[/i] in the tire; front tire, at that. I was too broke to afford a replacement. I had [i]just[/i] bought the tires a few weeks prior. I put the spare on and took the tire to a couple shops to see if they could fix it. Both said the cut was too close to the sidewall to patch. I went to Auto Zone and picked up a plug kit. Took a couple of those strips, crammed 'em up in there, checked for leaks, and never had a problem out of it all the way until the time I traded it in. The only thing was that I didn't get the rock or whatever it was that cut the tire from inside it. So every time I started driving slow, I could here it falling on the top of the wheel. Anyway, I drove that truck very aggressively and never had a single leak out of the plug. So have no fear. You'll be just fine. [/QUOTE]
