About 30 min. ago, I was pulling out of a parking lot can hit a curb with both my right side tires. The right rear tire punctured and I have cut in the side-wall that's a little less than half an inch long. Also, I'm riding on 20's so I'm wondering if the tires being low profile will affect if the hole can be plugged. So yea, that's the question, will I be able to plug the tire tomorrow?

You can't plug sidewall. Gotta buy new tire.

No tire warranty?

You wouldn't be looking for warranty, you'd need to have taken the Road Hazard Insurance. (Unless there's an obvious defect in the tire, they will blame it on the impact.)

I've heard of sidewalls being plugged before... I'm kind of holding out hope. I really don't feel like putting my stock 17's back on.

You're not so Lucky. Plugging the sidewall is not safe. Buy a new tire.

Ah hell, I hope a new tire isn't too expensive.
