Motorcycle Safety & Driveability: fixing a flat tire, fixing a flat tire, road surface


Question
on a new tire would it be safe to plug a hole? if so how do recommend doing it?

Answer
Hello Kenny

It is possible to plug tyres and it all depends where the hole is.  Is it one in the side wall, or the area which has the most contact with the road surface.  I have tyres plugged in the past, by going to a motorcycle tyre fitter.  They should have the plugs
