    So tell me something, Bucky put the plug in Saturday. The tire has been holding the same air pressure since then, I have ridden it around the sub division a few times and still holds tight. Do you all think its safe to ride or should I keep it parked till I can get a new tire?

    With a hole like that it's not going to just blow out, even if somehow the plug came out or fell inside it shouldn't be a drastically instant loss of air. I wouldn't be running 140mph down the road on it but i'd trust it to get around on. Doesn't hurt to carry a plug kit just in case or you can throw a patch on it but i can't imagine trying to get that tire off without the proper tools...i'd like to see someone try though
