Because its fun to go over the speed limit.

 

does it make you giggle when you are putting other people at risk?

oh, you caught me. I did do 170 when I drove the Supra that is in that picture.

 

There usually isn't another soul on the road for miles were I like to speed, and if there is I slow down.

 

Let's stick to the subject... if you guys want do argue, take it off line.

 

A tire patch or a patch/plug is very safe and I know many people who have track time with a patch or two in there tires. As long as the person doing the repair knows how to do it properly don't worry about voiding warranties and stuff like that. I work at a goodyear shop believe me when I say that it won't affect anything unless it is not repaired properly!

 

Who the **** did you get to do 8 of them?

I work at Tire Kingdom, and the most we can do is 3.

And yes, a tire patch will lower the speed rating.. but I wouldn't think about it too much unless you are seriously riding on those kinds of speeds daily (close to your speed rating).

 

Here in Iowa, my business does considerable work for the Iowa State Patrol. This is true here. THEY ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT PATCH A TIRE. It is replaced. They feel there is too much liability involved. If one of the officer's gets into a high speed pursuit and he blows a tire because it was repaired so.............they absolutely will not do it.

In everyday driving, patching a tire is fine and like has been said many times above, most speed limits nation wide are 75 m.p.h. or less................so a plug/patch combination should be fine. If you are driving above 75 m.p.h. on a public street, you are putting yourself and others at risk. That is what drag strips/auto cross tracks, etc. are for.
