I think its just a matter of removing the screw, roughing up the hole, applying glue, and inserting a plug - right?

One of our cars has said screw in the LF tire, these are snow tires that only get used part of the year, and my tire shop won’t repair the puncture as the tire is ten years old. I’m surprised I got so many years from the tires, but I’d like to get some more. There is adequate tread after all.

Easy peazy, done it at least 20 times over the years. Have had them last years.

I've used this sort of thing.


But, one of our board members came on and said that where he works (IIRC) uses "Permacure II" plugs and they've had no problems or failures.
