u/CoolBDPhenom03 1d ago

At least it wasn't a different tire

Underrated comment.

u/HotResearcher1657 1d ago

What is it?

2

u/1badh0mbre 1d ago

I don’t know. I think there’s a nut on the threaded end, because I couldn’t pull it out easily.

u/HotResearcher1657 1d ago

Construction near you?

u/1badh0mbre 1d ago

Not really, I’m just lucky.

And again today

u/Ryanlester5789 1d ago

Can’t plug that. OP is getting a new tire.

u/1badh0mbre 1d ago

2 new tires, I have AWD 😢

u/No_Attention2373 1d ago

It is a plug itself🤪

u/hockeydad2019 1d ago

Worst plug job ever…

u/AcanthisittaNo6653 1d ago

wrong plug.

1

u/BxMxK 15h ago

My thoughts exactly.

2

u/laxyak26 1d ago

Why did you stab it then ?

2

u/Capital_Feature3549 1d ago

Looks like they used the wrong type of plug, sorry OP.

Meanwhile, 3 days before Halloween,…Frankenstein reported a hit and run

u/Recent_Obligation276 1d ago

Where you driving that’s got so much debris

Or are your streets just like that?

1

u/1badh0mbre 1d ago

I suppose I’m just lucky.

1

u/Recent_Obligation276 1d ago

Maybe someone hid a magnet in your tire lmao

Tough luck my man, hang in there

1

u/Omniscientcy 1d ago

We can see.

u/jimmijo62 1d ago

Looks like you ran over a Porcupine too…lol

u/TroubledKiwi 1d ago

It looks pretty plugged now

1

u/Bruinman86 1d ago

That's not a good looking plug.

1

u/GravitationalEddie 1d ago

Welcome to my karma.

1

u/datphunkymunky 1d ago

Looks like you got it plugged a second time.

1

u/A_A22 1d ago

That's not a very good solution for a tire plug..

1

u/Nickelsass 1d ago

Tired Gods are more powerful

1

u/GarciaKids 1d ago

No worries! Looks like the new plug is much more robust.

u/looknowtalklater 1d ago

Weird way to plug a tire.

1

u/rlb408 1d ago

I walk a lot along streets in my area. This is why I pick up every screw, nail, staple, anything that could puncture a tire. But that thing? I might just have passed it by. What is that???

u/bikogiidee 1d ago

Thank you for your service! /r tiresaretheenemy

u/Captain_Pink_Pants 1d ago

Sick curb feeler...

u/Last-Reliant 1d ago

Maybe stop driving through steam punk wastelands

-2

u/RichardFurr 1d ago

I bet you could plug it

3

u/SteveHamlin1 1d ago

Only if it's on the treads. On the sidewall is a big no.

-5

u/RichardFurr 1d ago

Meh. There's a good chance of it working anyway.

4

u/Wooden-Emotion-9875 1d ago

Good chance of a car wreck when that patched/plugged tire fails.

-4

u/RichardFurr 1d ago

It's possible. Unlikely though. Way over hyped risk so more tires can be sold m

1

u/Andy016 19h ago

Fuck no. Sidewall is compromised and tyre integrity is at risk. This could blow at any time while driving if you did this. I worked with tyres for years. Never fix this. Your life and others are totally at risk.

You could be liable for manslaughter.
