So I've been in the new house for a month and I mowed again the day before yesterday. I was out in the barn last night and noticed a piece of wire sticking out from my mower and upon closer inspection realized it was hanging out of the tire just on the side of the tread where it transitions to side wall. With fingers crossed I slowly pulled the wire out and heard the hiss I was hoping not to hear. I pushed the wire back in so I'd know where the hole was and went on about my chores.
Now I need to figure out how to fix it. I don't know if a plug will work with it being as close to the sidewall as it is. Are there other viable options? I know the fix a flat and slime products aren't popular in car and truck tires but we put slime in the tires of our UTV a few years back and haven't noticed any issues. Since this is a mower and won't create and life safety issues if a tire blows out and I ok to use this stuff or are there better options?
