How To Temporarily Fix A Hole In A Tire
To temporarily fix a hole in a tire, I simply insert a 1/2-in. long sheet metal screw that’s big enough to fit tightly into the hole and then just air up the tire. I put about 5,000 miles on one tire using this idea before I got around to fixing the hole with a tire plug. A friend of mine doesn’t even bother plugging his tires after putting screws in. He says the screws stay in just fine. (Ed Grant, Penryn, Calif.)
