Had to plug rear tire. I guess a new tire is needed. The avon cobra looks good but I wanted see if anyone had feed back on tires. the plug is in deep part of tred near center of tire. Can tire be repaired /patched from inside?

get rid of that plugged tire dallasdon before you have another flat and yes avon makes a good tire also check the load rating of the tire you getso you are not over the limit with a fully loaded bike

Dallas Don, I am not going to advise you on what to do but I will say that I have plugged 3 different tires on 3 different bikes and have never had a problem. Rode them till they wore out. Also had each of them up to around 100mph on a few rare occasions. I have read probably between 100 & 200 posts over the last 4-5 years on plugging and I have only read one that had the plug fail. However it only takes one failure to result in devestation. I will say that from what I have read it is best to use the sticky cord type. Your puncture is in the ideal part of the tire for plugging. Also I would not plug a front tire but do not have any hesitation in plugging a rear tire in the center of the tread. However you do what makes you feel safe.

That is my thinking also center tire plug rear wheel. thanks

if you feel comfortable ride on the plugged tire. i would not and would replace a plugged tire on my bike asap
