Tire patch

Matticus91 · 04-21-2016, 01:42 PM

Got a small nail in my tire, Midas patched it up using a full plug and inner patch. What are the opinions on this? Should I be concerned about running at high speeds?

That's fine. You can even safely run at high speed on a properly installed tire plug (not patch).

Oh, you live in DC and have an N55 so your car won't even do faster than 150. Don't worry about it.
