A. There is the notion that tire plug kits can be a bit sketchy, which is why it’s important to do the job properly with a quality kit. Again, rubber cement aids with an air-tight seal around the plug, so find a kit that includes some if you can. Even though it’s a repairable puncture, the overall tire structure is still compromised, so refrain from strenuous driving such as off-roading, road racing, or even high freeway speeds. Still, we recommend using a patch or replacing the tire if you can. Plugs are only temporary.
