I just had one plugged. Two days later and the pressure was down 2 #. I soap watered the plug and it was leaking . Took it back and demanded a patch. No more leak!

F that I can fix a small hole at home, I like your drill

Always get a patch if you can. I picked up a nail last year and the patch is still good.

The main reason you would plug a tyre/tire is if you get a puncture on the road! Patching is not an option. We know patching is better, but you cannot do it by the roadside!

Thanks for the info. 😊

Excellent demonstration. Thank you!

Correct

Always took the time to do a patch. Thrn my shop stopped buying them......

all i see is a money hungry jew pandering to the bandwagoners

you gotta get your son and yourself some more testosterone. don't be beta cucks.

Where's the demonstration of the PLUGGING? All we see is PATCHING.

Both.

I've always left it up to the tire shop if i need a plug or patch and never had a tire fail on me. ✌ Btw good video by the young man, he didn't shake or jerk the camera around so i don't know what some of the complaints are about.

Hi Rich Cobb I am 69 and I am a dinosaur on a computer, and I also have dyslexia. I saw your video on how to change a flat tire. Maybe you can help me with a problem I have. I came up with a new idea, I can't change a tire the way you do because I am disabled. So, I created a new way to change a car tire. I made a video, but it doesn't work the way your video works, where you can see all your comments. I was hoping that maybe you could tell me how to fix this problem. Here is the link to my video, you'll see that I cannot get any people to comment on it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2PCoGtvoqiEqMU

Just say you like the patch because you can charge nore

If I'm going to patch it I DON'T want to make the hole bigger. I will prep it of course, but I want the hole to remain as small as possible. Plugging it requires reaming the hole to enlarge it just enough to allow the plug to seat properly.

I like the plug patch concept but I cannot afford replacing the tire if the nail is not within the center area of the tread. So I plug my tires instead.

I been plugging tires for years and never had one leak.

Got the shop to fix my leaky tire I don’t see anything on the outside so I’m sure I got a patch done on the inside. The hole so tiny you couldn’t see the hole but it’s been holding air ever since the repair

You can also do a plug without removing the tire from the wheel, it is not just faster... You can do that on the road...

Tyres industrie association Google it

Roni when you have tire with hole in our Nail in the tire and the customer drive on the flat tire to long and you dont watch inside the tire of their is anything wrong broken bead and so one rubber damaged and so one the tire can later on explode then you play with other mens live one time Friendof me did plug on a lamborghini tire explode car totaloss Big problem

This is a waste of time and more expensive. THE TRUTH IS THEY PATCH IT SO THEY CAN CHARGE YOU MORE FOR LABOR TIME. A plug will hold 100% if done properly anything that is not performed properly will fail even a patch. The dealership I work at only plugs and have never had a comeback due to a " PLUG GONE BAD " .

Please no plug

This is the way to do no other way well done the patches are tiptop very Nice done no plug in Germanië we drive 180 Miles on the highway Plessers no plug

You did not remove the blue plastic film on either side of the patch..why? You are supposed to remove the plastic before pulling patch thru hole and after stitching...

13sec into the video I've decided to plug in my tire

Problem with plugging is anyone can buy the kits and do it, Consequently you have people who will try and plug a hole/tear they shouldn't, and are simply unable to determine the condition of the tyre overall. Done correctly and appropriately there should be no problem. I've no doubt an internal patch is better, but it's so costly. I know people talk about plug failures, but how often is that? I'm sure there are far more failures due to people running them down to the cords.

very informative . well done

Thank you 🙏🏻

Why didn't you vacuum the carbon dust out of the wheel after you buffed the inside of the tire at the point of the leak?

Why didn't you torque the lug nuts in a star pattern like you're supposed to do. I got to give you credit, at least you torqued them!

So even if well done , there is a chance of leak... so no thanks , new tires for me...

Inexperienced jerky video kid. Otherwise, a very informative video.

Actually you don’t want to drill the hole bigger. You can mark it on the inside before you take the screw out and draw a circle where the puncture is. Buff it, glue it, put a normal patch, stitch it and then put a layer of glue around the diameter of the patch.

That type patch would have been good to have around in the 70's. I was working at a full service gas station to pay my way through college.

Hello there.. I have a question .My tire was flat and Tire repair guy plug my tire instead of patching it. we are going in a road trip for 4-5 days Arizona and Texas. Do you think that plug will come off after driving for long period of time in heat ?? Help would be really appreciated. Thanks.

Great work! thanks for the info.

Nice! Professional and yet, laid back.

I love looking at your web videos. Thanks!
