I had the tire plugged today, but I returned home from work too late to put it on before it got dark.

The guy who plugged it said the plug would last the life of the tire. (The first place I brought it to said it was a waste of time to fix it. I love it when I receive conflicting information like that.) Of course he could mean that when the plug goes, the tire will be finished.

The plug is about an inch and a half from the inside sidewall. The hole was very small. It would stop leaking when the tire went down to 20 psi of pressure.

I think I've bought myself a little time to sort through all the confusing information about tire choices. If anyone hears of any good deals on tires, just let me know.
