gigantic hole in the sidewall.....I got the plug to seal it long enough to get back to the car. No fluid is going to seal any significant sidewall hole...My general rule with fluid...If you put a hole in the tire that you notice...As in you hit something and the tire deflates causing you to stop...its too big for fluid to seal...Fluid works instantly, or it doesnt.
Maxxis has definitely cooked up some garbage that it gives OEM's to put on new bikes.....I have never flatted a minion/aggressor in more than 5 years of using them and ill put my torture testing against anyone. I have torn open 3 oem exo TR minions in less than a year...all of them brand new....they have the same name/compound...but you can see the difference in the sidewall just by looking at them...Im sure some thinner versions so the OEMs can say their bikes weigh less.
