Plugging a tire and riding on flat tire are two entirely different things. Finding a flat tire in the morning and putting a plug is not the same thing as riding to another location on a flat.did just that a couple of years ago.... what can go wrong I says to myself
5:30 am, going down the freeway in the REALLY wrong part of town, the rear end feels kinda funny
I pull off.... drive another 6 miles on dark streets to find a gas station.... did I mention that now the rear end REALLY REALLY REALLY feels funny
find a lighted gas station...
the tire shifted at least 6 inches on the rim
sure, I say.... go right ahead and put in a plug!

Were you skeered, Roger?:boo:actually I put the plug in a tire that had not run flat, but I noticed a nail in the tire.... but I had the plug fail, and in the most unopportune place.... yes to get home from there I re-plugged it, and drove slow on backroads.... but I don't ever want to have to drive through gang neighbourhoods in the dark again
