It's easier to plug and it works just fine.

Plugs are fine. Use a good vulcanizing glue to lube the plug, and it will not leak. I had a hole in the sidewall of my stock rear tire with five plugs in it, and it didnt leak at all. LOL, before I plugged it I could almost stick my pinky finger in it:eek: in all that one tire had seven plugs in it.

plugging is fine, everyone does it. Just buy a plug kit at an autoparts store or something. Soak em in rubber cement, stick that puppy through then dump some rubber cement on the area and light it on fire!! let it cool and youre ready to rip!!!!

Dude, I bought a set of self vulcanizing plugs from rockymountainatv and they are great! I have used them twice on the trail and they don't require any glue or anything. Just shove em in and ride!
