Sports: Re: [DucatiST] new tire or plug the leak

If the puncture is from a nail through the tread - Remove the tyre from the rim - patch it from the inside with a 'mushroom' plug - no worries !

I've done this before and then done track days without issue.

If the puncture is through the sidewall - throw it out.
