1/4 mile mile from home
Just returned from a short camping trip in our 2018 Monty with G rated Rainier tires. As I backed into my driveway I could hear air hissing from the drivers side on the wagon. Inspection found a screw buried deep in the inner most tread on the left rear tire. 110 psi sure makes for a loud hiss!
Called a mobile tire service and they suggested either replace the tire or use it as the spare and place the spare in service, which I chose to do. The tire guy said that on high pressure tires like these the patch has sometimes been blown right through the hole so I should be cautious when using the repared tire. The repair appeared to be a good job so I feel I will be OK.
Has anyone ever had a problem with a repaired G rated tire?
BTW, I know exactly where I picked up the screw. I have a dashcam in the rear window of the trailer. Watching the video I could clearly hear the rapid tapping sound as soon as I got the screw. 1/4 mile from my home! Sheesh! Better than out on the interstate 😎
