Well I praised the tires. Now I hit a section of road the dot removed. Flew right into it, on the highway. I now have a sidewall puncture. Great. I stuck a plug in it, seems to be holding. Freaking out as I got to get home. Don't want to be putting on spare on the side of road in this cold.

Dang Slick that sucks. Do you think you may have bent a wheel?

Nah the rim survived. Happy about that. I'll upload a pic shortly of how it looks. I made it home, then drove another 10 miles to get my gas cans back. I need to fill up the other can now till I get a new tire. Can't believe the plug is holding in the sidewall.

Yes, I fixed this on the side of the road. Inflated with my Mercedes micro pump to 25psi, and drove, slow as hell, made it to my buds house, though about putting the spare on, but made it home safely. I figured it deflates, screw it, I need a new tire anyway.

running 20" rims at 'North Pole'.
Using nitto motivo this year. Not bad so far. I am not sure yet if they are better than Conti.
