tyres hole plug..
Hi guys just found in one of my tyres a screw so i pulled it out so it wouldnt rip any more of my tyre. once i pulled it out there is a big hole in my tubeless tyre and it went down of course. and i was wondering if there is anything you are able to buy off the shelf somewhere to fix the hole? eg some sort of plug. just thinking about if i get a nice bit of wire or simiular in my tyre way out in the wapwaps i am able to plug it and carry on.. cheers any info in advance would be great appreciated.

Yea there's a kit you can get from repco / supercheap etc that's basicly for what you describe- temporary repairs out in the wopwops.
Not a legal repair tho- you'll fail a wof if it gets spotted, but could be good to get you out of trouble.
Haven't used myself so sorry, can't give you any review

Re: tyres hole plug..
those kits are a string repair. kit includes, string repairs, glue, a small file to clean out the hole and the tool to insert string repairs. get a hold of mudslinger on here he sells them
Re: tyres hole plug..
Those kits are real cheap at super cheap ....the tool is about $5 & a packet of 3 plugs is about $5 also.
But are only a temp fix to get ya home as can fail with no warning ...you must get it fixed properly ASAP
