The only way to truly test it is to drive it into a lake and see if it floats.


Remember to post pictures!

Why is our Moon called "The Moon" while other moons have names like Io, Europa, Titan, etc?

What are earthquakes called on other planets?

These are the questions that still bother me at night

Why do we drive on a Parkway and park on a Driveway?

What's so funny about a riot?

A few more for you to ponder...

Considering the flex seal is very thin, and tires naturally get worn off, my guess is you'll get nowhere near 500 hours out of that fix. I plug would last the life of the tire.

I did put a plug in then taped for a piece of mind...……would hate to have the tire blow at 4 mph..He'd be hard pressed to bring the paint back
