It needs to be properly repaired from the inside with a plug/patch combo to retain the speed rating.

If you get some heat on the tire the plug will get pulled/melted out.

You know that spare would not look half bad if it were another color besides bright yellow! Thank god I have never had to use mine.

At least you have a spare tire. When i bought the car, there wasn't a spare tire, so i bought a spare.

^ Have you read the documentation that came with the car regarding the spare tire :lol2:

It needs to be effectively fixed from the within with a plug/patch combination to maintain the rate ranking.

i had a nail and took it to tires plus...

$30 to dismount tire, remove nail, plug, test and rebalance the wheel

not bad

If they only plugged the tire, I would go spend some money at a different tire shop and have them patch it too.
