Noticed a few days ago that one of them seemed a little low on air pressure. I saw the nail yesterday, this weekend I'm going to take it to have the hole plugged. This may be a stupid question but, I really shouldn't go to the track with a plugged tire, right? Can burnouts + hard launches cause the plug to come out?

Yeah I use a bobcat for work and Ive pulled the plug out of the tires before. So I would think doing burnouts could do it too. If I were u I would have the tire patched. They take the tire off the rim and fix it from the inside. This is a much better way to go IMO. It should be safer too.

Definitely go for the inside patch. A plug very well could pull out at the track.

definitly patch! not only do plugs stand the chance of falling out but, they also dry up and lose the ability to seal the hole very quick. I work in a tire store i know these things

I had the exact same thing happen to my Nitto with 300 miles on it. Had it plugged, I pulled it out easily, had the tire patched.

The same thing happend to me when I had 2 brand new nittos put on the back of my car at the same time my converter was being installed. I got in the car with the guy that was tuning it and went to go test it out and sometime in the 10 minutes of driving I picked up two nails. Talk about pissed off

Patch it. I hope that nail didnt shoot in at an angle and ruin you sidewall like mine did on my 50 mile nittos

I worked at a garage for almost 10 years and plugged countless tires. I've had a few plugs in my own tires and have run them at the track no problem. I plugged bald tires and burned the hell out of them with no problems. But, A patch is deffinatly a better way to go. Like the saying goes, pay a little now or a lot later.

Patch it is then. I'm going to get it ixed this weekend, I know theres no sidewall damage because it is a small nail, and it is in the middle of the tread. Thanks for the tips .
