Snot Plug Safety

[Mad Manny]

I have a tyre (currently the spare) which has a snot plug in the tread (not Thread or Fred - Tread).
Would you run it as a front tyre?
I generally only use repaired punctured tyres on the rear axle...

I’ve run thousands of km with snotplugged tyres.

As long as there is no bubble where a belt has been damaged , you are fine at highway speeds

Your rattly old diesel won’t go fast enough for it to be an issue...

If you are worried pop into TWaT and have a mushroom plug fitted ...

Spend R120 and have a Gater Plug / Mushroom Plug put in. Cheapskate.

PS - an entire thread for this shit?

... Recently I had a very small thorn-pierced (?) hole on the shoulder of a BFG ... only picked it up in the bubble bath... once located was duly circled with white chalk,
... asked for a mushroom but they had run out so conceded to them just patching the inside ...
... noticed guy doing the repair had poor eyesight and couldn't easily locate hole on the inside of the tyre to center the patch... he actually pushed snot tool through the tyre from outside to do so ! ...
Many of these guys can hardly see in workshop light ( ... and even I can say that !) and MANY have screwed eyesight, cataracts etc !

Another thing to bear in mind that once they have used that burring tool to prepare part of the inner tyre surface for the patch that area cant really take another patch repair ... even for a second puncturing... that tool removes the skin of ribber to the ply-layering, mesh etc
... maybe could just put snot-plug for second puncture in same area ...

... in general stick with mushroom repairs and not excessive inner-tyre areas being burred/shaved...

Whilst you are at TWaT, ask them to put a mushroom plug in your mouth as well. Ill pay for both

Do you want everyone to talk out their rear-end like you do ?

You must have me confused with some of the posters on the butt hurt forum
