STOP AND GO TIRE PLUGGER WILL GET YOU OUT OF TROUBLE ON THE MOUNTAIN ROADS

One thing that can ruin your mountain drives is getting a nail, screw or even a bolt in your tire. In today’s video I am going to show you how to repair a tire when that happens.
Over the past several years there were a few occasions where our runs were interrupted due to a damaged tire. Luckily in each case we had the Stop & Go - The Tire Plugger with us to get us back on our drive. A shout out to my friend Luke for introducing me to this kit.
Let me show what all is included with the kit and how to use it!

I'm a woman with some hand arthritis, and for myself I like the way the smaller kit w/out the "gun" works. It comes in a canvas case I think. Using the small (Allen?) wrench to gradually screw the plug down into the tire. The same job just done in a different way, and not requiring as much strength or grip. Another plus for me is it takes up less space to carry. My tires are off-road type on a large Jeep, so likely a bit tougher than a sports car. This kit looks like the thing to carry!

[@lukeanderson7757]

Your welcome...thanks for the shout out Andy! Ironically, I had to my kit again recently on my wife's BMW I3. My wife was actually impressed, which normally is not the case for all my car and gear stuff...lol.

[@RSXperience]

It came in handy at our one event. A guest in their Cayman S got a screw in his tire. We fixed him up and we were on our way.

[@johnlong7504]

Thanks for the info-clip and for, unlike many other well known folks, not calling your beautiful sports car a "porch" - take care & put the hammer down!

[@ralphgarcia3366]

I must have received a defective gun, had to return, with handle squeezed 5 times with plunger bottomed out plug wouldn’t even make it to the funnel looking tip. Seemed like a good concept. I’m sticking to the rubber tubes and glue.

[@MDHanif-og3kp]

thank you Bangladesh

[@cidpusa700]

Awesome impressive

[@RSXperience]

Thanks for watching.

[@popoymotmot]

Can you still drive at high speed with that diy plug?

[@justinroberts8496]

“Might need a little force to get that thing in there”😂😅

[@RSXperience]

That was a struggle. I’ve gotten better at it. You really need to make the hole bigger.

[@TBD3.0]

I just did it 👍🏻 It was easy peasy 👍🏻 Let's see if the plug will last 800 miles.👍🏻

[@RSXperience]

Great news!! It’s not too difficult, especially once I figured it out. I had one in my tire for about 1000 miles. Good luck.

[@cbrrebates]

I have this tool. it leaks. Not better than strings

[@chrisbennett5796]

Is it possible to use any kind of lubricant when inserting the nozzle/probe? I am thinking that this might make it possible to screw the nozzle onto the gun by turning it, and not by turning the gun. As you said, this might be pretty difficult on a real tire puncture on some cars. I have one of these kits (haven't had to use it yet). I was wondering what the slippery stuff on the plugs is and if it is available separately, to use on the nozzle?

[@RSXperience]

Good question. Having used the kit several times now I find that reaming out the hole is the best solution. You actually need to make it larger than you may think. Then the slickness of the plug makes inserting so much easier.

[@MrBigBoy4Life]

I use a lubricant with my girlfriend at times. There are times when inserting my nozzle takes some effort and lube makes it glide smoother.

[@GTAIVisbest]

Can I reduce the chances of the mushroom plugs developing leaks by coating them with rubberized cement before insertion, just like with rope plugs? I see a lot of comments saying it will help, but the mushroom plug is made of a different type of rubber that does not vulcanize, so I feel like rubberized cement won't do anything

[@RSXperience]

I don’t know the answer to that specific question. From personal experience I’ve driven spirited on mountain roads with no issue. Until I needed to replace the tires. YMMV.

[@mediascribble]

I've been looking at a few videos about plugging tires, and I just did one last night, and this seems far and away more difficult than the manual way of doing it without the gun. The whole point of the gun is to make it easier, and I guess the force part is reduced, but it's more involved in tough conditions typically with all the steps to get right. If you lubricate a bit with the manual tools it should be fairly straightforward and easier to navigate. I didn't use lubrication, but rather some glue, and I still got a small screw hole fixed with some effort.

[@RSXperience]

Admittedly the gun can create some challenges especially if unable to remove the wheel.

[@jcodaniel5678]

I have the same kit, but my gun doesn’t push the plug out of the tip. I think it’s cool concept, I have had success using the manual ones

[@RSXperience]

I had the same issue early on. When I made the hole larger with the auger tool it worked fine.

[@Benzknees]

What keeps the plug in whilst you're driving around? Is it just friction, or is there glue on the outside of the plug?

[@RSXperience]

Thank you for watching. There is a mushroom head on the one end of the plug that expands once inside the tire. Makes a seal larger than the whole. I have had no issues with leaking on tires I have used it on.

[@diegosauda-zy4uw]

air pressure from inside keeps the plug against the inner part pf the tubless tyre,you cannot use this if you have a tyre with the inflatable tube in it

[@israelgrinshpun1410]

If I need to use 2 mushroom plugs one near another, should I reeming ones or two times

[@RSXperience]

If there were two punctures in the tire near one another I would advise replacing the tire. If it is a larger puncture using multiple plugs may be an option. I’ve seen it done before where three plugs were used in a large hole caused by a bolt. YMMV.

[@bocahmanut8573]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@israelgrinshpun1410]

Does Plug Kit containes a few diametr mushroom plugs or only one

[@RSXperience]

Only one diameter.

[@larry0465]

Looks good but doing that with a tire still mounted on the car could be a challenge, a regular slime plug is faster and easier.

[@drizler]

I can’t sy why but those Slime Plugs have started giving me fits in the last couple years. I’ve used the string type since the 70s when as far as I saw the plug guns I saw at garages went away. It was supposedly about not working with the then new radials🤔 . Anyways they came out with the red string types supposedly for radials and they were fine for decades . I used some rubber cement on them both as lube and to help lock them in. The package said use the red for radials and black for old bias types and I just went with it. I had issues with only one or two and it was on nearly bald tires. On some I additionally Slimed them if they leaked slightly. Some time back I noticed the redo ones from Ames and K Mart ect went away and only the Slime Black are all that is available so I went with them. That’s when I started having issues with the real issues of continual seeping. With the tire sensors I was / am reluctant to slam them with a full load of Slime. Well Two weeks ago o got the double whammy with a biogas’s industrial building steel outer wall screw in the middle of my F 150 Tire followed by a smaller one on my boat trailer, both radials. The truck one was big though I fixed both with the strings and watched them a week or so. Darned if one day my boat tire died at the boat ramp park out while I was on the water. Nice pain changing it in the dark. Then double whammy as the truck s tire did the same thing a week later with more fun in the dark after working fine for a couple weeks since the fix. That’s when I said ENOUGH and bought that green gun off Amazon. I will say it’s built so beefy that I had to put a magnet to it to figure if it is steel or aluminum it’s that beefy. I have to say it’s pretty easy to use and the direction sheet is fairly painless. Time will tell as that truck tire holds air fine but it isn’t back on the truck yet and it held fine with the string before failing. As for those black Slime strings it’s just my observation but after decades of using those things I’d say avoid the Slime brand and go with something else. As for the mushroom plugs and gun they are nothing but pure rubber . It seemed to plug that big hole very well but I wish there was. Way to gunk it with rubber cement without flopping the gun tip all up inside. Perhaps cleaning it out after use with solvent , I don’t know yet. As I said earlier time will tell.

[@mikebergman1817]

Just 800 miles?

[@aliqnasri5994]

Only cost 13 dollar here. It need glue to seal nicelly.

[@Smiler7]

Are all mushroom inserts the same size?

[@RSXperience]

Yes.

[@Smiler7]

Thank you@@RSXperience

[@mohammadhassanshoshtari5066]

Hi. Where can I find that kid?

[@illiyakuryakin3092]

No “Kids” were used in the filming of this video.

[@Joker7777771]

800 miles i want my plug to last

[@joeshmoe74]

I don't trust it, the sticky plugs form to the damage where as this looks like it can possibly wiggle itself out at any time

[@RSXperience]

Understood. It comes down to what you’re comfortable with. I had mine in for several hundred miles before I replaced all 4 tires. The plug has a mushroom head that expands once in the tire to prevent it from coming out. Although YMMV. I would not used the plugged tire for HPDE events.

[@Rahulp204]

How to purchase kit

[@RSXperience]

You can purchase at Walmart or Amazon that I am aware of. Here is Amazon link. a.co/d/8wJe8IV

[@chandrakantupadhye2991]

Give address of this product

[@RSXperience]

Here is a link to the product on Amazon. Stop & Go 1085 30 Piece Deluxe Tubeless Tire Plugger Repair Kit Punctures and Flats on Car, Motorcycle, ATV, Jeep, Truck, & Tractor (25 Mushroom Plugs) a.co/d/905AbTS

[@alp3781]

I don't think so. Go the kit, tried it twice on my motorcycle, leaked badly. Both holes where not even on any thread. followed the instruction all thr way. Spent money for nothing. Back to ther old way. Rubber glued strings are the best.

[@kp5518]

No thanks , I will stay with the sticky $6 rubber strings repair kit. I had nail on the sidewall and used that simple needle rods and a dap of super glue at the tip of the plug. It's been 1.5 year 8000 miles and still no leaks....😂👍

[@again5162]

Same here had a sidewall scratch been 2 years since the plug and no problems

[@dimitricostiuc4401]

I hope you were paid enough for this review This tool is absolutely worthless. yet, Somehow Amazon is showing over 2000 x star reviews. Just think about for somebody, it could be life or death situation on the road.

[@RSXperience]

Nope. Not paid. At first it isn’t the easiest thing to use. Once you figure out the need to make the hole bigger with the auger tool the better the experience. and makes using the gun easier to use.

[@dookoonu2741]

Sorry! Not impressed! Other simpler ways

[@thomaschadwick4699]

Amazing...no one ever shows repairing the tire on a car. These so called tire repair videos are a joke.

[@chriskarsseboom2200]

It's the same thing just mounted

[@thomaschadwick4699]

@@chriskarsseboom2200 If so lets see you crawl under a car and do the same.

[@privatejatt4224]

Too much talking other options lot easier....
