got a nail in my 35x12.50 R15 GY MTR w/Kevlar. they have 350 miles on them lol....figures. if i plan on wheeling them hard, whats my best route to go as far as repairing the flat.....plugg or internal patch? thanks

 

I rather take the internal patch route...

 

I'm a plug fan, have had more than one patch come off. Never have lost a plug...

 

Discount tire does it for free!

 

I strongly believe plugs are better than patch for offroading. I've seen tires just about bold and plugs are holding strong. Thing is, it has to be done correctly for the plug to work effectively. Patch works where the plugs don't on the sidewall.

 

My local repair shop used a patch/plug combo on my recent flat. It's a one piece patch with a plug attached that they install from the inside of the tire pulling the plug through the hole which is all glued thight. From what I saw, this should never leak.

 

I'm personally a huge fan of a product called ride on. I started using it on my street bikes now i use it on anything with a tire. You literally could have just pulled out the nail and kept driving. It is a coating you put on the inside of your tire. Check out the YouTube videos out there. They even take drill bits to tires then drive away. There are a few similar products available I've seen.

 

What about the TPS inside the tire?

 

I have never had a TPS system work right on any car/truck/jeep I have ever owned. Those got replaced with larger wheels and tires on day two after buying my jeep. For me it is not an issue to inspect and ensure my tires are inflated properly at all times. I dont need a little bell and broken half the time sensor telling me otherwise. I personally wish they sold a truely stripped down JK with nothing but maybe AC as a option. No electronic junk to fail, fully bedlined tub, closed cell rubber type seats with no covers, half doors, no radio, cb option, no carpet, etc. In my view what you dont have cant fail.
