Midas E-07 and a Nail

[belrix]

I was getting the NC ready for a little trip this weekend and noticed a nail in the rear tire! Upon closer inspection it looked like it didn't actually penetrate all the way through the tire, just through a tread knob and into the outer rubber layer. Plus the tire was holding air pressure fine.

I debated for awhile then went ahead and removed the nail. So far so good, no sign of air escaping from the tire and pressure is holding.

Do you think the tire will be safe for 400 miles this weekend?

i would ride it and not think twice

For safety sake, this could be a good time for some Ride On, just in case.

Thanks for the replies! I will ride this weekend and I have a plug kit if I need it, plus a compressor.

Looks like that nail did a right turn, and never penetrated the tire core.

You'll be OK I'm pretty sure...Ride safe and have fun!

I love those tires. I think I'll replace my Heidenau k60 with the Mitas E-07 next time.

300 miles rode without loosing pressure!!!

I really like the Midas rear tire also. I really, really wish they would make a 17" front tire.

On my front, I ran an Avon Distanzia but wasn't happy with the performance. It cupped really badly. Now I have a Pirelli Scorpion Trail and am happy so far. Miles will tell.

To be honest only fault I have with the TKC-80 I've been running is the noise. Think I'll try a set of Shinko 705's in the spring.
