Patched a tire with a mushroom plug and a rubber band trick that actually held
Had a sidewall puncture on my own truck last Tuesday, not even a repairable spot according to the book. Instead of dropping $200 on a new tire, I tried a trick an old guy at the shop showed me. You push a mushroom plug through from the inside, then wrap a rubber band around the stem before pulling it tight to keep it seated. Drove 50 miles on it since and no leak. Has anyone else used a weird hack that shouldnt work but does?
