Plugging a tire

[Bigbody45]

How many people have did it. How long have the tires went, and most importantly who had bad experiences with plugging a tire????

[DOCTORNITRO]

Did it a couple of times in the past. Usually just to get me home....carefully. Rode on one for about 500 miles with no trouble tho....

I'm cheap, but still plug to get home than change the tire. I have gone around approx 500 miles on a patched tubeless front tire.

I had to plug my rear tire in two places (same time) about three weeks ago. The tire only had about 1500miles on it and I cannot afford a new one right now, so I've been riding on a plugged tire since then. It has held up fine and despite checking the air pressure every ride, its not losing any air...and I ride EVERY day.

Depends on who you talk to . I have a hard time trusting a plugged tire , but I've also sold a few punctured tires really cheap lately to guys who don't care , one of whom rides the HELL outta his bike on plugged tires with no problem .
