This is a "must -have "Tyre Repair Kit. Never leave home without it. It has helped me twice - once on my wife's car, and last weekend, on my Audi Q7.

[@chesterhunnyhugger6115]

I have 3 cars and in the last 5 years I've fixed a flats on all 3 with the same kit bought from Wallmart for a few $$. I also fixed flats for family, friends, etc., numerous times. It's cheap, works well and I've NEVER had a problem with a tire I fixed. Yes, the rubber strip is hard to push in but if you can't manage to push it in then you really need to start doing a few push ups. It's also easier with the wheel off the car. I'm 69 years old and I still fix my own flats and will continue to do so until I drop dead.

[@quickmike]

Don't listen to these people telling you not to use this for long term repair. I've done this same thing about 12 times since 1988 and not a single one failed. I drove them all until the tread was worn out and the tire was at the end of its life cycle.... not a single one ever popped out or caused problems. The worst case, the thing would fall out and you would just lose air slowly and end up with a flat and you can put the spare on, then get a new tire. No big whoop.

[@305_nova2]

You had the simplest video by far. I plugged my tire with ease! Thanks a lot man💯

[@tinchauea]

One key step worth mentions here: The insertion tool got the split head and requires to pry open a bit. This gap is allowing the insertion tool to be pulled off the tire without pulling out the repair plug. I learned that the hard way and would like to point it out here.

I bought one of these after seeing this video a while ago, and thought I would share my experiences with you all. In the time I have owned it, i have successfully repaired my own tyre, but did have to re-inflate it. I had a small electric pump too. Later this year I saw someone stranded roadside with two kids on the motorway with a flat tyre. typical that she didn't have a spare and no mobile phone. So i play good Samaritan and had the tyre repaired and inflated in less than 10 minutes. Well worth the £2+ free p&p from eBay that included 10 extra strips!

[@MeekElect]

I wasn't too sure about this kind of thing but it was all I had available when I went to help a friend who was broken down with a big hole in the middle of a 9x18 wheel with lowest of profile tyres on a Porsche 997 and the only thing I had to make an attempt at getting the car back home was a kit like this and just like the video it was very straightforward and easy to do but the cool bit was this happening on a bank holiday weekend and the tyre repair held up from the Friday night to the Tuesday morning when the tyre place was open. You can't argue with that!

[@louoldschool3163]

I have been plugging tires for 40 plus years, the added glue works as a lubricant that lets the plug slide right in the hole and gives added support to the plug to adhere to the tire. trust me (voice of experience) . you should never have to push with that much force. also cut off the plug with side cutters when done to make a smooth finish. good luck with your future jobs and vid's. thank you, Lou

dont need to cut off will wear down within a week, and pushing with alot of force is good because its less likely to fail

Thanks for sharing this. It’s good to know how todo it yourself. Most mechanics are not interested in small jobs like this. They’ll tell me to come back a couple of hours later so they can finish off all their bigger jobs first.

[@danielslagle6440]

I've plugged tires for 50 years and with my vehicles and trailers that's 120 I have to deal with. Never ever had a problem, no blow outs, nothing at all. So let me take a wild guess who lobbied for the law against plugging a tire? As for warranties, we all know companies take any way out they can and always try to shift the blame on us. Has anyone had a blow out from plugging a tire? Ive heard a hundred times "it could happe" but never known any it happened to.

[@forrestgumpv9049]

I have done this for many years. And it is Permanently fixed, no need to go to a shop afterwards, it will last for the life of the tire, unless the object in the tire is big or it goes into the tire at a low angle. Also this will not work on side walls. Great job on video, everyone needs to learn this one :-)

[@scottdiamond74]

Plugs will eventually leak. No tire manufacturer on Earth recommends this repair method.

[@forrestgumpv9049]

Well chit fire ... mine never leaked ....and I drove the tires until they were worn out...Maybe you have no experience doing that one....

I've been replacing leaky plugs with patches for 25 years.

Excellent demonstration. I carry two of these kits in my trunk all the time. The hard part comes when you have to put the rubber strip inside. I usually put a rubber cement around the strip to make it easier.

Nice vid. FYI. The reamer is for making the hole the proper size for shoving that slug in it and if you use rubber cement it lubes it up to make installing the slug easier. If the nail or screw is bigger than the reamer, it needs to be patched from the inside.

I've been doing this for over 20 years..😁😁😁 Good job Samo.

[@n1zw]

nicely done on the repair. Here in the US we have same tools as you showed but we also get a tube glue in the kits or we purchase separately. Fixing the tire goes much better with the glue and it makes easier win you install the plug. Very good tutorial and I love watching your channel.

[@fixitsamo]

You don’t need to apply glue for the red plugs they already have some glue and individually sealed If you read the instructions on the kit i used it doesn’t require any glue that’s why they don’t include any glue in the package Yes you might think it’s easier to insert the plug using glue it can also do the opposite effect because of the air pressure the plug might pup out slightly causing air leak That’s a common mistake guys do when they plug their tires specially if they put lots of glue cause it will act as a lubricant for the next 5 to 10 minutes till it drys if you use glue i suggest you wait at least 10 to 15 minutes before you hit the road just to give some time for the glue to dry completely Black plugs kit do require glue but not the red Thank you for your support and drive safe

You probably have rust around the rim Take it to a garage they’ll remove the tire clean the rust around the rim and put rubber cement to seal it it wont cost much

[@arash_blog]

Great video! I'd recommend keeping a safety glass alongside the kit, and wearing it during the operation. The screw (or whatever else in the tire) might pop out because of the air pressure. Would be great if you put this in description, or as cards. Safety first!

this video was a bad luck for me cuz I had a flat tire the next day and I bought the same kit and fixed it, so thank you very much for the educational and helpful video

[@cranegantry868]

Get a small spray bottle of mixed detergent and water for checking if the leak is sealed. Use rubber cement with the filler goo. Get some bull-nose pliers not long nose. Grind the hole larger than you did, so you can clean it of anything that won't grip the cement and goo. If you lose lots of air, you'll need an air pump to pump it up again to full pressure. You can use the air pressure from your spare if you have a connecting hose.

[@notadumbblond3]

[@QueMeVezWei]

Will this product work for even smaller nails stuck in the tire? I see that the guy on the video is dealing with a somewhat larger size one and the tools he’s using seem to be kind of like the same size as the nail inserted in the tire*

My tires are so heavy duty that it is almost impossible to patch them this way but I found that putting the reamer tool into a drill (I just broke the handle off so it fits into a drill ) works pretty well

[@skipwavedx5151]

Ok, Thanks for the tip! I bought a kit and I just did mine, I had a nail in it. It was in the back so I janked the tire off to do it. My tool didn't have a T-handle so it was really hard to get her done!

[@ferg1680]

For all the doubters out there: This is perfectly fine to do as long as the hole isn't too big, I have been plugging tires for 30+ years with about a 99% perfect seal.. The trick is to make sure you are using the "Gummy Plug" that Samoa is using here, if you don't see that gummy stickiness on the plugs don't buy them..and a little dish soap on the plug makes it a lot easier to push in ...also fill the tire up with air first so it's solid to push against ( if air is available) Cheers

[@barrystevens967]

Isnt it strange they dont do the plugs in black Ferg.Must be a reason.

[@billg521]

RUBBER CEMENT... I always apply rubber cement to the plug, it will slide in much easier plus the rubber cement will dry to a tight seal .

[@john21031]

The kit should come with rubber cement, which is a glue that also helps to lubricate the tread and make inserting it easier. It was visible how much of insane pressure the author had to apply to force the tread in. Chances are, many people wont be able to put it through when it's so dry. I've also broken the tool before, so, yes, have it lubricated to go in easier and to seal better. Otherwise, thanks for the video.

[@DCSPORTSTER]

Tire plugs work great been using them for 30 years. Fill the tire up to 40 psi. Coat reaming tool with contact cement and pull in and out. Tire plug tool coat plug with contact cement. Pull reaming tool out and install tire plug with tire plug tool. Cut off excess plug and adjust tire pressure check done. If whatever went through tire wrecks the cords it does not matter plug or patch tire still junk. If tire belts shift you need a new tire. Vehicle will shake or waddle like a duck at slow speeds if the belt shifts.

[@justbanter8727]

Great Video/advice, thank you. I've known people to drive around on tyres that have been patched like this for months, however for safety reasons its better to get the tyre replaced/repaired profesionally as soon as you can; Also here in the UK the next time you take your vehicle for its yearly check-up (MOT) it will fail unless you replace the tyre. For a temporary fix & to get you out of a bad situation its ideal, and very very cheap.

[@davecronin8790]

it's been my experience, to remove the air first. Rasp the hole after the obstruction is removed. prime the needle eye only, without the plug, with rubber cement. Insert into the rubber cement coated needle-eye into hold coating it. Remove the needle-eye and thread a plug through, and coat the plug with rubber cement from the center-out on both sides. Makes inserting the plug into the hole a little easier. Remove the needle-eye tool, trim the plug excess, and inflate the tire. Otherwise, it takes a great deal of controlled force to insert the plug, which can get away from you, thus losing the plug inside the tire.
