Tire Hell

if

1. Buff the inside of the tire smooth, using a cleaner to remove any mold release

2. Use the patch with the center rubber hole filler with glue on it.

3. Then patch the tire you will never have a problem

if you do like most and patch on the dirty inside surface not using a tire buffer, and do not use the patch with the center piece then you results can vary significantly

It makes me crazy to throw a tire away because of one little hole. That is why I shoot it with my .45 caliber Kimber. It is the humane thing to do.

Just make sure to shoot it straight through the sidewalls :laugh:laugh
 
Got another hole on Friday.
Didn't notice 'til Saturday morning as I was getting ready for a ride with friends I couldn't call, I had to meet them in the car if I didn't show.
So I plugged the new hole and went, 5 minutes tops, it's easier with the tire half inflated.

Most of you guys are making sense to me, racer7 and bikerfish1100 expressed my thoughts very clearly.

This tire has about 2,000 miles on it. Had I replaced it twice I'd have spent $300 for nothing.
