I have a small nail in my MT Drag Radial, can I patch it or just leave the nail in it?

I have plugged a mt drag radial before with no issues.

I have plugged my Nittos but I took my ET Street to get it plugged and it just wont hold, gotta get a tube, but you may be ok with a patch, if not a tube is $65 and a new tire is $200+, id get a tube

A radial tire patch will work fine. I had one of mine patched and it held up well. Plugs are not recommended for radial construction tires, so stay away from them.

dont do either...

a tube is not 65$... unless you got ripped and bought one from them..

go to tractor supply or the like and find the size to fit.. you can get them both for about 20 bucks or so.... it will improve your launch also.

The MT tubes are $65, a regular tube is like $15

i believe i paid like 23 dollars or something of the sort for both mine.. could be a tad off though, been a while.. its a LOT cheaper than the MT tubes...
and is also a much better solution than a patch or the like.

yea, no way in hell i was going to pay 60 some odd dollars for one.. a buddy works at a tire shop and told me go to tractor supply that they would have them... got 2 and installed.. talked to a couple different places and it said it would help the tire also..

Aren't the tractor tubes alot heavier than the MT tubes?

i know for a fact the MT tubes are 4X's as much...

IIRC, the reason for getting a drag tube is to pass tech. If you aren't worried about that, then you will be fine with the other tubes. If you put tubes in it, you are going to have to drill the rims if you have enough power to spin the rim in the tire.

I'd patch it if I were you. But I do have some BFG drag radials that I threw a plug in, and they are still fine. I can't hook worth a damn, but that is a different story
