Just a little side note on plugging tires and I don;t think this holds true for bias trailer tires.
I have been big time tire plugger for 20 years and especially for about 10 of them as this town went crazy with construction for a while and every other day there was a box of screws sitting in the middle of the road that fell off someones roof.
So back to the point. I was told by a very knowledgeable person that has been in the tire manufacturing biz along time that todays tires do not do well with plugs. They laminate the plys differently nowadays and a plug will allow air to flow between them and it will cause the tire to delaminate between the plys.
So if you have a tire that is worth a chit when it gets a hole in it you should really have it patched from the inside instead of a plug.
