its 46mm or 1 13/16, just look in facts on the site ( wheel removal ), i
tried to buy a socket, but its available only thru specialised tool stores
and expensive.(50$ can). i ended up buying a big wrench, because it can
serve for other things too ! too big to carry, but you don't need to !

just buy a plug kit for radial tires at a car parts store, mine was 6$ can.
but if you ride real hard, i recommend you change the tire.   i would'nt
change mine (cheapskate and all), but still recommend to do so.   8^)
