    I use the 10 ply on the truck and trailer
    Never had a problem with a plug



    Several years ago, On this trailer, I did have a tire I couldn't plug
    Going down the road I was getting a speed related click click clicking
    faster I went >> Faster the clicking was
    Finally remembered to check it at the end of the day
    This is what I found >> Tire still had over 60 pounds of air and I had picked up a couple cars that day

    If you look close at the end of the bolt in the photo below you will see the shinny metal where it was hitting the trailer >> Hence the speed related clcik click click

    I put a big old gash in my skidsteer tire this past summer and was so used to plugging it to keep going that I forgot it had a tube in it.


    Needless to say..............the plugs (which were numerous) weren't doing much good. Age has its benefits...LOL
