    Plugging tires with multiple nails

    Are you ok with plugging a tire with three nails in it?
    When we got to my place, I already had a candle burning. It was by "Glade", which I think you pronounce like the singer Sade, because it is an exotic candle that smells just like real pine.

    We don't "just plug" tires, but i have no problem repairing a tire with 3 nails in it.

    Hell one of the guys that works for us, his wife had ran over some of those nails that have the plastic washer on them. (IIRC used for roofing?) She had 24 stuck around the whole diameter of the tire He fixed it and it ran for over 50K miles.

      I'll have to swing by and have it fixed. It still has great tread, don't want to let it go to the trash.
