There is a good chance it is. Plug it up, inflate the tire and watch out for bulging. A little bulging is guaranteed, but there is a big risk that it'll grow way too big, which means its not safe to drive on

I know the pain. Got this the summer of 2015, and I was skeptic, but the bulge is minimal and there are no signs of more cord damage

it's a tool for plugging holes in tires, its used to clean out the puncture hole, and prepare it for the plug

What do you mean bulging? Like the spot where I put the plug will bulge relative to the rest of the tire?

>>15492963
That would be what he means. Sometimes punctures can break a belt, and you'll get a bulge. Just keep an eye on it.

Use a magic marker or something to make a mark on the tire. That way, you will be able to inspect that spot easily in the future. So if it begins to bulge after a few more thousand miles, then the tire's belts were weakened and continued driving causes more and more tiny strands to break.

Why would you even try to plug that bald ass tire?

>>15492922
least you didnt buy new tires like me in may, and then hit some construction metal last weekend, and blew out one of my back tires, fun stuff.

>>15492922
no shop would touch that from a liability standpoint, but you should be okay. Tires are weird senpai, sometimes a dryrotted 30 year old tire can do highway speeds fine, other times a 5 year old tire will blow the fuck up over some whiteboy shit.

>that tire
>bald

What the hell are people who can afford to buy tires when they still have that much tread left doing posting on MY /o/?

>buy a full set of new tires
>get a nail close to the sidewall two days later

Luckily I had Tire Rack protection on it. Still had to pay for installation though.

get a budget tyre if you're cheap. plugged tyres are only good for 40mph anything over that and they're likley to blow the fuck up

I got 4 sets of maxxis tyres and they have literally never had a puncture in the 2 years ive run them on all my cars

>get a nail in the sidewall of one a month later


They're $60 Aspen Touring All Seasons, but still.

Plug it yourself, put it on the rear axle and see how long it lasts.

I've plugged the shoulders on a couple of tires in the past on my personal cars, theyve all held up, but I wouldn't be comfortable doing it to someone else's car desu senpai.

>>15492922
Thanks for the replies guys, I plugged it and drove it to work and back 80 miles; I had no problems thus far going up to 65mph. Do you guys think it'll last a month or two? I planned on buying winter tires in a few months anyways.

That tire ain't nowhere near bald. Right now its coming close to the 3mm mark, and that photo was taken over a year ago
