tire plugs

Anyone ever run a plugged tire on a steering axle? i have 2 rear tireplugs but had to plug the passenger side front this weekend.... tires are dunlop at20s with 35500 miles on them so pretty worn. I think itstime to bite the bullet and get a new set....or should i stretch them longer? Is a plugged steering tire dangerous?

 

by the way, these arent professional plugs, i plugged them with a plug kit.....

 

i wouldn't worry so much about the plugs. but from the sounds of it, at 35,000 + miles, its time to change them out anyway. i'd bite the bullet

 

how much tread do you have? I changed mine around 32,000, there was no way I was going through a winter on what was left of the tread.

 

just what is a professional plug?

 

I think he means he plugged them on his own and did not have a tire shop do it

 

lol thats what im thinking to but ya never know.

 

i mean its not a patch/plug from the inside of the tire like a shop would do. Tread is pretty worn, no siping left just the main tread blocks. They arent worn to the wear bars yet, when i do the penny test i can see abe's hair but not the top of his head, its pretty close, i am sure they will suck in the rain.

 

I hit a box of drywall screws in my old Wrangler one night. Tires only had about 5K on them. Wound up with 8 plugs in the front tire and 15 in the rear. Never had any issues. YMMV

 

well ith 35k, i just replaced them with some yokohama at-s
