Went tree hunting yesterday with the Mazda and a trailer. I had already scheduled to get new tires Tuesday, but I managed to push my luck. A sharp rock punctured the tire and lodged in the tread. I'd never seen a sharp rock from a gravel road puncture a tire before, so that's new. It broke in half as I attempted to remove it with pliers, so half of the rock is still in the wheel.
The hole was too large for a single plug, so I doubled them up. By far the most lengthy tire repair I've done, taking about 45min. Took a while to realize the tire was losing air as fast as the pump could provide it, which is when I added the 2nd plug. Normally with a screw puncture I'm able to repair the tire without losing much air, but this time it went all the way flat once I pulled the rock.
