Patched tire

[jonx96]

Well. I went for a 3 mile drive and was the lucky finder of crap in the road. I almost just went and bought two new rears but decided to have the tire shop patch it for now. I’m going to imagine the patch will hold. This wasn’t a plug. They took the tire off to do it the right way at least.

Trash bin for that sneaker....but that's just me....car bike truck whatever...

That patch should last until you wear out the tire.
Just to make sure, whenever I get a tire patched.....I do a nice burnout to help vulcanize the patch to the tire

Seems to work pretty well.

I usually hate keeping it but I did some research and the patch they did should be fine. Either way a set of tires don’t last me long. So as long as it makes it until the end of the year I’m happy.

I too would keep the tire, especially with that much life left to it. Still does suck though, sorry.

But yes I see both ways. Drive a car with this much power and put a patch on it. I struggled with the decision for days. I really want a set of nitto 555rII for the street. But at the same time I enjoy this tire for everything that doesn’t involve a straight line.
but yes drop a few thousand here and there on performance parts then patch a tire and do it the cheap way. I know. Doesn’t make sense. Either way just because I put a patch on it doesn’t mean I’m not looking at tire sales.

I lost a rear tire on a motorcycle (and almost my life)..@ 75 mph due to a failed patched tire..It may not be the last tire failure I experience...but it is the last one due to a patched tire...

That’s scary! I’ve only had one scary experience on a bike and I’m glad that wasn’t it.
was it a plug or a patch?

It was a patch..(dealer installed)...they no longer patch MC tires..this was 15 plus yrs ago

O geez. Now that has me a bit more worried. The tire shop told me not to worry about it. I did some Google research and a lot of people said it’d be fine. That they just took a little off their speed raiding. Which these are 186.
I told the guy at the tire shop well I do hit 150 on these sometimes. He said I wouldn’t worry about it. Which he could tell I was because I asked him 3 times.
the guy I bought the car from wants the tires. Maybe I just sell him the 2 for 350 bucks and call it a day?
