[QUOTE="hppants, post: 1394305, member: 27852"] The rubber cement idea is sound. If the tire is leaking, since it is in the center, plugging it is a safe choice, IMO. Since the rock was so large, a string plug may not hold, but I would try it anyway. If it won't hold, you can have a tire man plug/patch it from the inside, which will definitely work. In either case, there is no point in replacing the tire. Except for the fact that it's a Battle-Ax piece of shit Bridgestone tire in the first place. If you ride that bike the least bit close to the way it was designed and should be ridden, then fear not. In about 3,500 miles, you are either going to have that puppy worn down to the cords, or you will be so fed up with it that you will replace it anyway. Mystery solved.... [/QUOTE]
