I thought that RFs were not supposed to be plugged ?
Only patched from the inside ?
Something about plugs causing the tire damage?

Plug won't hurt a run flat. Preferred way to patch, however is to remove the tire, then install a combination plug/patch device.........looks kind of like a mushroom.

You guys are way too, too funny!

1) Didn't think it polite to "whip out" my cell phone and start taking pictures.
2) Your combined imaginations are running away from reality. The "lady" in question was in her late 50's, carried a bit of weight and wasn't that great looking. Her ta-tas were way, way to HUGE! (I mean HUGE!!! & not to my liking...) Oh, she was wearing some very revealing cloths.
3) Because of the discription in #2 my GF cared less and in fact was concerned for the lady. (My Gf is in her late 50's and is a petite Filipina knock out...) No need for concern on her part.
4) I plugged the tire rather than letting her drive the 3 miles to the tire shop because she "refused" to drive there unless the tire held air. So much for RF's. (Original factory tires and she did carry a good compressor.) The wait for AAA was going to be 3 FREAKING hrs!!! And they only use sealant. I installed the plug without using the glue provided so it would be an easy removal for the repair at the tire shop. The shop I lead her to uses the "from the inside patch/plug" mushroom thingie. They did one on my right front non runflats a few months back. I'll give them a "plug" (pun intended) here; Lex Brodies.

Anyway the whole story was the "blonde thing" (please no blonde flames ladies..) about how she was just holding the compressor nozzle AGAINST the valve stem trying to inflat the tire. Once I installed the plug and showed her the nozzle "screwed onto the stem we were in business. She thanked me and I told her to "play it forward"!

Well, there ain't a blond among them but there's a little somethin' for everyone.

Now wait just a cotton pickin' minute there DJ! You originally said:

Now you add a tad bit more important detail by saying:

Now what do you think a bunch of testosterone filled young and old guys are going to think by that first description?

This reminds me of a call that went out over the radio of a naked woman walking against freeway traffic. I raced out of my area only to get there and find out she was 80 years old and had escaped a mental hospital.

It's called a "TEASE"....

Go take a cold shower. You guys have a way to vivid imagination. I left out the details on the "lady" in question as it was more of a "dumb blonde" episode than a sexy young blonde tang. The mention of the lady's big ta-tas went to your "little head".
