Wi | FSAguy - 12/15/2013 17:25 Why do you say not to use a plug for permanent repairs? I have heard this on and off all my life. However I have plugged atvs, mowers, half and three quarter ton trucks, and lots of trailers. Hardly ever do I ever repair a plug(virtually never) and I have never had a failure associated to a plug. Curious on the logic? Good info in the post! Thanks!!
From both where I worked and TIA training. A two piece plug/patch is needed to prevent anything from getting access the inner structure of the tire, like the cords and such. Air can do some funky things and moisture can be even worse.
ATV tires and such are fine, its what they are designed for. Passenger tires don't always have issues, the logic comes from being a professional shop and doing the job right versus the potential for failure.
When you get into commercial tires though its a different story. |
semi tire changing tool?
