Yup.


And if something only kills one out of a hundred times, odds are you could do it a hundred or more times without a problem.


But I still don't think I'd do it.

such a small hole will not create an explosion nor a death treath
then why would the tire dealer(2 diff. dealers) say to leave it.....
in any case, with the pressure sensor, you will get plenty of warning....

I think you are allowed your conservatism
like in ''better safe then sorry''
but don't be alarmist

It was an example to make a point. I obviously was not suggesting one out of every 100 plug repairs results in a death. Well.... maybe not obvious to everyone.
