I have a question for repairing a tire. Have an EO 7 daker rear that somehow got a 3" screw in it. The screw caught the front edge of the tread and went all the way, the first 2" had threads but it went past that to the smooth part.
I had ride-on tire sealer and balancer in the tire so I didn't lose any air until I pulled the screw out at home. I've plugged the tire and it seams to be holding air just fine. The tire has about 4.5K on it so it's still got some good tread on it.
So my question is would you just get a new tire or run it with the plug. This is Texas in the summer time, so the tires get really hot and does that make a difference.
