Reply With QuoteWhat kind of plug?
The do-it-yourself kits from Autozone will get you where you need to go, but I wouldn't autocross on them. The kind where they dismount the tire and plug and patch it from the inside work very well (in my opinion).
Flat tire question
I just bought some Toyo TR1's not long ago...woke up with a flat....nail in the tire.
My question is, do you guys think its safe enough to Autocross with the repair?
The hole was in the center of the tread, and was plugged.

Wouldn't you actually need to Autocross to have this as a concern???
I've autocrossed on numerous plugs and I've never had a problem. I'm not going to say it's the right thing to do. YMMV.

Professionally installed plugs are usually okay for autocrossing. I wouldn't use a plugged tire at a track day, though.

On the track, I am fearless.
If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.
