r888???

I got a nail in one of my tires yesterday...

Anyone know anywhere in the bay area that has r888's in stock or not special order?

Thanks
Harrison

Just pull it and plug it. You'll be fine.

Thanks! Ill try there! If they don't have it ill just use tireshoppe.com or whatever they turned into. I just didn't want to have to wait until Monday to get new tires. O well.

And ya i dont like to run too much time on plugs i guess its just a peace of mind thing. Plus the tires are pretty used up anyway...

I went 144mph on a plugged tire, there is nothing wrong with them.

I've had a tire blow out at a plug at 55mph...

I have trouble taking the tires up to or past highway speeds, let alone warming them up on a track. I'd rather be safe then sorry I guess.
