That's the first time I've personally used a plug, had my dad and many friends have to use them, but it was always on ATVs or side by sides out in the desert.
So it was usually a really big puncture that took multiple plugs and just slowed the leak enough to get back to camp and park it for the trip if they didn't have a spare.

I could barely even get the reaming tool in the hole that the screw made because the tool is so much larger and the steel belts are very tough obviously.
But I'm happy that I was able to get it done and it actually sealed up perfectly. It's holding no problem so that was a bit of a surprise to me especially with using only one and on my first attempt. Lol


These days, most plugs are self-vulcanizing meaning the seal very well in street tires. back in the day they weren't.

they can be hard to get in, I try not to ream to much and damage cords any farther. so they can definitely be harder to get in. especially if you have the ones with just a screw driver type handle. the t handle ones you can use both hands on help a lot.

I've got tires at work so thick you gotta use a drill to open up the hole enough to get a plug in. these are non DOT tires only rated for 30 mph max and we only have a car tire level tire machine. you can get them on a rim when new using lots of tire lube, but until they are worn down to the cords, they aren't coming off. if plugs didn't work, I'd just throw the whole thing rim and tire in the dumpster.

You could always cut the tire to get it off the rim.

I dedicated a lot of time to some mods on my Tahoe this weekend. I replaced my low beam halogen lights with one of HID Guy's kits, plasti dipped my chrome surround on my grille, tried to repaint my front bowtie (FAIL!), replaced my interior lights with LEDs, installed my holster under my steering column, and replaced a seatbelt latch on the driver's seat. Now I'm waiting on my rear door actuators to come in as well as the billet bowties I ordered. As soon as they get here I'll get to installing them too. Long weekend but I got it done. What did you do to your Tahoe/Yukon?
I drove 120miles to the desert, 4 wheeled all over the place, and drove it home with no issues at all.
