Can you imagine 23 plugs in todays radial tire!

After Hurricane Andrew blew through here there were more roofing nails on the road than there was road itself.I went through 2 boxes of Nappa rope plugs before getting a set of new tires. (modern car) At the tire store we counted 11 plugs in one tire ...my personal high.lol
