I had one of those washer and everything from the job sites I drive on. Really had me wobbling and roaring on the road. Dumb me touched it too after I pulled over. Got it plugged, kept it as a spare. (Old JK)
We have to touch hot metal every now and then just to be reminded. :LOL:

Isn't that why we should touch things with an elbow or something not crucial if burned?--The temptation to do so is irresistible so...

I use the back of the hand method (if I remember of course). If I feel heat with the back of my hand while it is close (not touching) I don't touch. Too many burnt finger tips to rely on them registering dangerous heat.

This post exactly. Thank you for the suggestion! Unfortunately they won't let me plug and keep the old one (for obvious reasons), LOL. As of this afternoon I'll be driving on a brand new tire since I was only at 1/32nd wear.
Glad to hear it worked out for you!

It's leaking if that's what your asking but it's a tiny gauge wire/hole. No one will repair it at least the two big retailers I went to. You thinking a plug kit? I don't know options so pardon my ignorance on this.
Plug it and use it as the spare.
