can hide, and may be difficult to remove. It is often helpful to push them back
out through the tread with the use a sharp instrument. In addition to looking
for sharp pointy things poking through, look also for broken cords or cuts in

two, replace the tire as soon as possible.

with a jack at the jacking point. Remember to remove the lug nuts and pull the
wheel off the hub. Examine the tire for foreign objects like rocks or nails.
Feel along the tire, if necessary, to find things that blend into it.
You’d better pull
out any object with a pair of pliers and mark the spot with chalk or markers.
Apply the soapy mixture to the surface of the tire. Bubbles will appear at the
site of your leak. Mark the area the same way you would have if there had been
an object. To be more convenient for repairing, you can locate the rasp tool
contained in the tire plug kit and insert it into and out of the hole quickly.
Fill the plug and with cement from the kit. Use the insertion tool to place the
plug into the hole.
Allow the adhesive
to dry for at least a minute, and then cut away the excess plug material from
the tire surface. Pump air into the tire and check that the tire is at the
correct air pressure. Lastly, apply some soap mixture onto the plugged hole to
check the seal to make sure it is holding. Put the tire back on the hub and
tighten the lug nuts using a star pattern. You need to be more careful when
