Rear Tire - Dunlop K555 170/80-15 M/C with whitewalls. Was on my pastor's father's bike a couple of hundred miles until he got a nail in it. We wanted to plug it, but his dad is from the old school and refused to ride on it anymore. We got it on a trailer and had a new tire put on. This tire is still excellent and just needs to be plugged. See the pictures.

I have been plugging tires for years. The small hole is in the tread area and not even close to the sidewall. If you have spokes and use a inner tube it won't even make a difference, but if you have cast wheels and don't use an inner tube - the tire will wear out before the plugged hole will ever leak again.

Bought new for $150 asking $50 plus shipping.
