I got a F'ing flat today as soon as I showed up at my buddys house for a ride. Anyway I ran to my work and got a kit and plugged the tire. I am familiar with car tires with plugs. I just dont know how safe a bike tire is w/ a plug. I was curious if any of you have had a tire plugged. How reliable is it? Im not planning to ride on it more than a couple times since i need a new one anyway. Getting married in 3 weeks and gotta wait till after to spring for it. I had a buddy that rocked one for a long *** time and I kept bugging him to get a new tire. Any suggestions for a new tire while im at it. I got Diablo's on it now. Recommended to replace in sets?

 

i stunt a plugged tire

 

me 2, it takes a day or so of no use to go flat

 

Just reading again, an article about running w/ plug. How fast were you going. what did it, what angle, age of tire, where on tire... then the big one...
Do you feel "lucky" The biggest problem, other than you CANNOT actual ever trust a plugged tire, like a unplugged one (reason... no dealer, will ever plug for you) IS... you cannot see the entire damage of a tire... period !!!!! Getting married, in 3 weeks... no time ,fora potential hospital stay now!!!! Hindsight is always 20/20... not worth it...IMHO.
Free and clean, Ripp'n

 

its dead in the center. believe it or not it was a thin 1 inch piece of a stick. pretty small.

 

up until this last tire every one that i have ever run for the past two years had a plug in it. The last one had 2 plugs..haha I've never had a problem, and thats with bouncin off revlimiter in 6th gear. I'm not tellin you that its safe, just sharing my experience...as for new tires, Pilot Road on the back with a Pilot Power on the front.

 

Anyone have a good place to get tires from. Did a search but didnt come up with any places. Why the pilot road in the back?

 

nice and sticky tire but still lasts a long time....90% of the stunters at Stuntfest were runnin those tires.

 

What freakin language is that supposed to be? Is there such a thing as grammer where it comes from?

 

me andand a bunch of guys from my area run continental tires....they are cheap ($125) and last forever...i do alot of burnouts and i dont go through all that often....for the money, i have found that its the best tire
