I agree to disagree.
Plugging radials has been making a comeback for a long time.
Now we have plugs that are designed to repair radial tires and are self-vulcanizing. That is to say after they heat up from driving, they "melt" into the tire and become one piece. This is again the preferred method because it is much faster to do. If, as in the old days, a tire was cut then patching is the best way to go.

Didn't mean to say I haven't plugged a few radials that worked just fine. I was just saying "not approved" to my knowledge, that pesky Owner Manual again.

Funny thing is Don, my Owner's Manuals aren't pesky at all.
After I read them they went back into their respective gloveboxes and they haven't even complained about the lack of a light in there.
Not sure why people are so upset with them, you want to talk pesky....spend some time with my Mother in Law.

Thanks for this picture, I have been fighting with to install my jack and spare back into my car for about 15 minutes. Given I am prone to fits I decided to check the forum for a picture as the owner's manual shows the jack closed for stowage - which doesn't work. I will now try it with the jack in this open position (as pictured).
