Hey all,

 

I have a nail in my tire and went to three places to get it plugged.  No-one
wants to plug anymore.  Instead they all want to patch the tire, which costs
20-25 vs the $5 I used to pay for a plug.  For $25, I'll plug the damn thing
myself.

 

So what's the deal?  Is a plug not as good as a patch?  Is it not as good,
but still sufficient for everyday road use?  Or is the patch just something
companies can charge more for?

 

Mike
