Tire Plug Question

I've plugged regular car tires before but never a truck tire. I'm running 265/75/16. Is it going to be harder to plug? Thanks.

Not really

I pluged a nail puncture in my BFG AT 33s. It wasent hard/ Just make sure you use a good plug system like Safety Seal or it will be a weekly event.

Make sure you use a plug that is inserted from inside the tire.
Those are far more secure and long lasting that the gooey rope type.

If you have a BJ's near you, you can get it plugged and patched for about $10.
True, a plug should hold, but the addition of the patch will keep it sealed better, expecially in low pressure situations.
Just my thoughts,
Todd

My last set of BFG's I had one tire that had 3 plugs in it. One of the gooey rope types and 2 of the ones that look like a bunch of cones on a rod. They all held fine, not even any slow leaks...

If you can try to not use the gooey rope kind. They work well for a few weeks but start to leak after a while and need to be replaced.
