I need help on this one as you will see if you continue to read.
Last winter I drove over a sheetrock screw somewhere in the south. I
stopped for gas and noticed that the rear(est) right tire was slightly low
on air. A careful examination revealed the screw.
The first tire company I went to in the town wasn't interested in repairing
a tire, they only wanted to sell me another..even if it wasn't the same
brand!
Another stop at a small independent tire location netted me a guy who would
put a plug in it for me without removing the wheel from the GMC.
That was what I chose to do...put in a plug!
A few days later in Maine at a tire dealership on the way home to pick up
tires for a friend of mine...the tire guy, quoted the state dogma and said
that ONLY a Mushroom patch was legal. I kept on going... when a guy states
the gospel without explanation, my eyes fog over and I exit.
Finally to the point!
What is the correct method to repair a sheetrock screw hole in a Michelin
16" tire..between the threads? Does anyone know for certain!
Mushroom patch, tire plug, or ?????
**I called Michelin and the guy didn't really know... I could check my
local tire professional (back to the starting point) or he offered to
Google it for me !! Thanks!
Thank you for your knowledge and or opinion.
