Picked up a fender screw in my brand new Mickey Thompson et street r drag radial. It's in the thick part of the tread, way inbound from the sidewall. Has anyone patched an ET street R from the inside? Obviously a regular plug will not work, especially for racing on the track where the prep could pull it out. Thoughts? Would you do it?

Also, has anyone re-mounted a tire on a beadlock that was already mounted before, and has the indents from the knurl?

Can you run tubes in those tires?
