A tire plug is a quick, effective repair solution for punctures in the tread area of a tire. It involves inserting a sticky, rubberized plug into the hole to seal it from the inside and prevent air leaks. Tire plugs are generally considered a temporary fix, lasting anywhere from a few months up to a year, depending on driving conditions and tire maintenance. For a long-term, safe repair, combining the plug with a patch on the inside of the tire is recommended by most automotive professionals. Properly installed plugs can help you avoid immediate tire replacement and keep you safely on the road until a full service can be performed.
