When plugs are installed correctly and in the right situations, can help a tire last for up to 25,000 additional miles. But while plugs can be effective, usually patches are considered to be the better, more secure option of the two. The patch/plug combo is the safest and most reliable option.
Tire patches can be used for a temporary fix and on average a tire patch if installed correctly can last seven to ten years.
Plugs are not recommended to be used on the sidewall of your tire, if this occurs find your nearest Payne Service Center and replace your tire. Plugs are not a effective when damaged area is at an angle, patches are your next solution and would be a recommended. Patches however has its limits – if a puncture is bigger then a quarter this patch will be as effective this is occurs the tire is past the point of repair and will need to fully replace the tire.
