It appears that my front Michelin PP2CT has picked up some tiny nail or scrap of metal. I can see it in the tread but it is imbedded too deep to remove with pliers.
What would you do?
Can I push it through and plug the tire? these tires have about another 1,000 miles left before I am going to replace them but I don't have the new tires yet and I would really like to get a few more miles out of this set.
If the tires were newer I would take the tire off the rim and patch it on the inside but I don't think that's worth it this close to the next tire change.
Thoughts? Would you plug a front tire?
EDIT: Oh it just started slow leaking. I lose 5psi per day so it's definitely all the way through.
