OK. I see all of the "your insurance won't cover that" types coming out of the woodwork....... First, WHERE in a tire warranty does it say ANYTHING about plugging a tire? As far as I know, the standard practice is to plug the hole - as long as it is not on a sidewall or on the corner of the tread. Second, the steel belts in tires are of a fairly corrosion resistant alloy. I have NEVER seen a rusty belt on a blowout or a tire that had been plugged and later failed. Third, when a plug does fail, it generally results in a slow leak that is more nuisance than hazard. That would be the point at which I would either use an inside patch or simply discard the tire. Fourth - I have been reading the news most of my adult life. I have never heard of a lawsuit or a huge award being attributed to a tire plug. I doubt if a tire plug could even be traced back to who installed it. Lastly, the man just asked an innocent question about plugging a tire. Whether or not he actually does plug the tire is entirely his prerogative. And, Stan, NO, I don't see any harm in plugging a tire. If it is going to leak, it will usually do it right away.
P. S. I call BS on the liability of it all. Many millions of tires have been plugged over the years, and none to my knowledge have resulted in catastrophic crashes.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
