Rear flat

I just put on a new rear Michelin Pilot Power II and had a total of about 300 miles when I ran over a nail. Shit, I never thought I would plug a tire but 300 miles??? I'll report on how it holds up. Cheers!

If it is done properly should be no issues. I have done track days on plugs

I dont know about you but having a puncture that causes excessive wear on the tyre feels like you just got ripped off........plugs should be good if done properly, I rode around on mine for quite some time.

I wouldnt trust those emergency plugs and check your tyre pressure more regularly.

Every time I have used a plug in a tyre - I have forgotten about it until the tyre has worn out !

never had a problem with a plug (touch wood) - still check tyre pressure but not seen evidence of tyres losing pressure from being plugged ?

Dude, unlucky mate. However i have had plugs done by tire dudes and all good for the life of tire. I have also done my own plugs without taking tire off and they too lasted, however i only had about 2K left on the tyre ( i commute and use long lasting tyres pilot rd 2 was the trye)

Jim Beam < Wild Turkey,

Hate to hear that mate,but as the fella's said if pluged write she will be sweet.

Internal plug good as tyre itself..

Thanks for the information. The plug was done by a friend who races motorcycles and he claims he has raced on a plugged tire. Wild Turkey is goooood.

Before I left for Phoenix, I ran out to Evanstan, Wyoming and held it at 120 for about 30 minutes and here I am. I think I'll have a Jim and kill my Granddaughters future husband as I don't like him at all.

Thats only a missdemeaner over there isn't it. Probably get let off with a warning. Either that or you will be given a nice new chair.
