    WTB: Boston, Used Rear Tire for SV650s 160/60-17

    Just listed my bike for sale and the next day I get a nail in the tire. Looking for an inexpensive used rear tire size 160/60/17 in decent condition to replace it. Located in the Boston Area. Thanks.

    Why not just repair the tire correctly?

    I've heard it's not safe to patch a motorcycle tire? I have a plug in it right now.

    How would you safely repair a tire?

    Take tire off rim and use patch and glue from inside.
    Temporary plug would be mushroom type only.

    Plugging is fine.

    I've got a couple of pirelli race takeoffs I could sell ya dirt cheap (20 bucks?)if you'd rather do that though.

    Plug is fine. Run it. I am pretty sure I have a dunlop race take off that was barely used if you prefer dunlop.

    I have plugged many tires and never had one fail.

    I just use the plug kit from autozone.
