Plugged tire?

[sinto607276]

I voted to get it repaired and keep using it. But then I'm Scottish

If it's repaired correctly it'll last the life of the tyre.
Years ago I had the same situation, plugged to get home but lasted ages after that before I went to get it repaired, never played on my mind with temp plug or after repair, was happy with it

I can't see how a plug in the tread area could cause the tyre structure to become dangerously unstable.  Even if poorly fitted it would surely only result in a slow puncture. 

On the other hand it could get spat from the tyre and blind a blue fazer rider trailing behind

I can't see how a plug in the tread area could cause the tyre structure to become dangerously unstable.

It's not the plug, it's the initial damage plus that done by filing the hole bigger to get the plug in: some of the internal cords that give the tyre its strength may well have been broken.

:agree  Works a treat and no filing of hole required

This tire is a Dunlop PR3 ..

Did you buy it on Alibaba? Is your Fazer a Honda?  :b


I would keep using that tyre, unless you are pushing yourself in traffic and putting you in danger every other second (that is not a safe rider) it should be more than enough for another while. imho!

:lol :lol :lol  Well spotted. Years since I last used a Dunlop so I've no idea where that came from. Of course I meant Michelin. (I think  :\ )[size=78%] [/size] :thumbup [/size][size=78%] [/size]
