Now though, I'd take it to DT to get it fixed from the inside or replaced.
The Seconded day of owner ship with this Taurus, i ran over a screw on the front tire..... Went and bought a external rope plug kit, put it in, and did not have problems..... 4K miles now. But i should carry an extra, just because.
