Default What if you

Get a flat on your trailer, you plug it but now how do you air it back up. You air compressor isn`t going to reach 20' from the truck!

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.

I have never had a trailer tire get a flat without trashing it anyway.

I use my jumper/starter that I can keep in my truck.... I've used it a bunch of times as it has a cigarette lighter plug. Getcha one!
I like the way you think though.

What if you: stay focused on getting your boat back together, "maybe"? it'd be ready by springtime.

So should I patch this one, or will a plug suffice?

Black RTV.

Red is actually better but won't match the tire well.
