nail in my tire
I know how important correct tire pressure can be for offroad situations.
Despite my best precautions my rotten luck held out and I ended up with a
four inch nail in my tire. The nail is lodged all the way to the head which
has molded to the tire from driving. It is lodged near the sidewall-tread
seam and somehow I'm not loosing any air yet. I plan to add some green
slime to my tire, just wondering if any of the heavy duty offroaders here
think I should just go slime all my tires now and what sort of performance I
can expect out of the green stuff? What sort of cons are involved in a full
set of slimes?
This next question may seem idiotic but the answer is not readily apparent
to me. After I slime the tire and run it for a mile should I forget about
the nail or pull it out and patch the sucker?

Re: nail in my tire
Don't add anything to your tire. Many tire shops will refuse to work on a
tire that has some kind of 'fixaflat' stuff in it. Just go to your local
shop and have them PLUG it. Maybe though, by your description of location
they may not plug it and you may have to get a new tire. Or you can try to
plug it yourself. It's not hard, just by a $3 plug kit and follow the
instructions.

Re: nail in my tire
My vote would be don't us any additives to the tires. Pull the nail and seal
with a plug.

Re: nail in my tire
Take it to a tire shop and have them patch it, not plug it, many
shops do that for free, Discount Tires, for one will do it for your
business.
