CM-100725 Plugging a Tire

Description

A nail in the tread doesn’t always mean replacing a tire. Tire plugs offer a fast, cost-effective way to repair small punctures and get vehicles back on the road quickly. Designed to seal damage from the outside, plugs work best when the puncture is in the tread, under ¼ inch, and the tire hasn’t been driven flat. While ideal for short-term or emergency repairs, plugs are not a permanent solution and should be inspected or followed up with a proper plug-and-patch repair for long-term safety. Educating customers on correct use and limitations helps manage liability, maintain safety, and ensure confidence in every tire repair.
