Screw In Tire
I picked up a wood screw in one of my FW ST tires yesterday. The tires are less than 1 year old and has about 2K miles to date.
I took it to the tire shop requesting a plug-patch. The resident tire guru informed me that to do the plug would be too invasive on the steel belts and recommended just the patch. I agreed and proceeded with the repair.
Does anyone have personal experience with a patched tire, be it positive or negative? Did you have any issues with the tire after the repair? Personal experience replies only, PLEASE!
My tire in question carries ~2000lbs and is rated for 2540lbs.
