Hey there: I drive a 2001 Ford Mustang (without anti lock brakes) that has a slow leak in one of the tires. The tire with the leak had a plug put in about two months ago. Aside from the slow leak, my tires seem to be in good shape. I had all four replaced about 20 thousand-miles ago and these are supposed to be 40 thousand-mile tires. They have been used under normally conditions and I have rotated them regularly (no racing or anything like that). Would it possible for me to have the plug repaired? Would fixing the plug be a smart decision, assuming that the leak is actually coming from the plug? If I need to replace that tire should I have 4 new tires put in? As you can imagine I do not want to spend the money on buying 4 new ones if I do not have to. By the way, my steering wheel shakes when I break. This could be a separate problem, but I just thought I would let you know in case it is somehow connected to the leak. Thank you for your help...it is truly appreciated.
