I run construction and I get stuff like that regularly. I pull them and plug them as long as they're not too close to the side wall. I think every tire on my X has a plug in it.

Tip-Top used to make something called a "Combi" patch, it means needing to take the tire off , but a totally reliable repair as long as not close to sidewall as pointed out, but even there it is fairly reliable if it's still in the tread.

I hear you, but that is a lag bolt from 1 of the 25 newly installed black/yellow rubber speedbumps (in 1km) feom the gate to my house on the compound...[emoji35][emoji35]

What kind of black magic do they use over there to fix them? :rofl:

I guess bolts don't hold well in pavement that you can cook your eggs on! ;)

For that one it's the combi-patch. It has a patch with a plug spike built in and holds up fairly well, but I buy replacements asap since I rarely follow speed suggestions...[emoji12]

Here's what happens when the 4 tire spike sets aren't gang-locked together and only one side retracts and the sidewall is too close to the other set....

[emoji1787] The only thing that holds well is the sole of your shoe! (1 [emoji93] do not recommend)

You guys should get an allowance for tires!
