I found a nail in the rear tire of my C14. The tire has about 300 miles. The nail is just off from the centerline. The tire lost about 6 psi in the last 24 hours sitting in my carport. Can the tire be plugged and will the plug be safe for the expected life of the tire? Would it be safer if I had it plugged long enough to get a new tire? The nearest Kawasaki dealership is about 40 miles away. But there's a Honda/Suzuki dealership and a Yamaha dealership just a few miles away: I'm assuming the Honda/Suzuki and/or Yamaha dealership could repair or replace the tire with the correct make and size. Am I right? Last question: I was referred to a tire and auto place in town. Could I trust the plug repair to someone who's repaired car tires but not motorcycle tires?
Thanks in advance!
