How Long Can You Drive After a Mushroom Plug Tire Repair?

[McColin]

As long as it is not punctured again, a mushroom plug tire repair can last until the tire is completely worn out. Here is some extended information about mushroom plug tire repairs: 1. Mushroom Plug Tire Repair: As the name suggests, this method uses a mushroom-shaped rubber patch. The repair involves locating the puncture from inside the tire, threading the 'stem' of the mushroom through the hole, trimming the excess part outside, and then securing the inner part with special adhesive. The stem part acts as an external patch, while the cap part functions as an internal patch. This method takes longer and is more expensive than regular tire repairs, but it offers better and more durable results. 2. Precautions for Mushroom Plug Tire Repair: If the tire puncture diameter exceeds 6mm, it is advisable to avoid driving on highways after the repair, as high speeds can cause the repair to crack. Additionally, if the tire has been repaired more than twice, even if the puncture diameter is less than 6mm, it is best to avoid highways due to the increased risk of a blowout, which poses a safety hazard.
