i am ordering new tires in a week for two because two of them poped, last night i was at wal-mart and picked up this tire repair kit with plugs and rubber cement. The tire is holding the air good and i was wondering would it be ok to ride with the plug entill i get my new tires?:confused:


thanks

Yeah. Tire plugs are safe to ride on. I have been riding on mine for a good few hundred miles now. It hasn't given me a single problem. Although i dont recomend that you use walmart brand tire plugs. Get them from an off roading store or something. Much better quality and better tackyness on them

Just buy them at Wal-mart,alot cheaper and the same product.One of those handy CO2 cartriges works well on the trail for flats.I seen someone set the bead on a stock Honda rim with about 5 of them things while way back in the woods.
