Good example of why a damaged tire should be dismounted to allow for a inspection of the interior for further damage. Plugging a tire from the outside usually causes more damage than the initial puncture due to the size of the tool. If enough moisture gets to steel belts they begin to rust, & as Neil Young says, "rust never sleeps"
