Found a slow leak on rear G Force tire. - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

ZR-1 Mack · 12-30-2005

The car was put away for the winter and the air was at 35 psi in all tires just before Thanksgiving. The air pressure on my rear tire was down to 27 psi today.

After some swearing I took the tire off and found what looks like a nail puncture thru one of the thick tread areas near the back side of the rim.

I know the speed rating is gone on the tire, but has anyone ever just put a plug patch on a tire and called it good?

The tires only have 3k on them and I sure would like to get another year or so out of them.
