I spent an entire day trying to find someone to fix mg tire. Everybody wanted to act ignorant as hell so i ended up here at 10:30pm, sitiing in my living room plugging my own tire. Thank you so much for the tutorial!
You are very welcome & we appreciate you sharing this. That’s a bummer to hear no one was able to help you.

1030 pm tweakin it hahah
How has the tire held up?
Adulting is hard huh
I’m doing the same thing. I’m so happy we have TH-cam.
56 years old and this is the first time I fixed my own flat lol. I watched your video and repaired my tire like a pro. Thank you very much for the easy to follow video

We have had incredibly terrible experiences with car repair shops & have devoted our TH-cam channel business to help as many as we can not go through the experiences we have.
56 yrs yo ?
first time for me also and I am 68, it wasn't easy getting the plug in that's for sure
One suggestion for the rubber cement compound, I put a liberal amount on the whole strip just before inserting into the tire. This helps bond the folded section to itself and where it contacts the hole of tire. Doesn’t hurt to apply some to the plug as shown in the video, but most of what you apply there is going wear off in a short amount of miles driving on it.
Thanks for watching & we appreciate you sharing this advice. Us fellow DIY’ers need to stick together!
😎👍🔧🔩
I totally agree and that's what I do.
The person doing this video doesn't know the difference between a plug and a patch, so I wouldn't put much faith in anything they do or say!
So should I put some of that glue on the strip before putting it in the tire ?
@@ejercitodejehova6979 Yep. Slather the strip in glue.
Before you ream the hole, you want to find the direction of the injury so that your not actually making it worse by forcing the reamer through uninjured tire. Follow the channel of the hole. For example, if the hole is 45° you don't want to force the reamer through at 90° because you'll be compounding wound channels and making it even worse. Coat the plug material with the rubber cement just before inserting it into the tire. It'll act as a lubricant and make insertion much easier while providing for a better plug. By the appearance of the ozone bead cracking, this tire should be replaced anyway.
Thanks for watching & we appreciate you sharing your advice. Any & all helpful info is greatly appreciated Eddie.
Hope all is well with you and your family.

I'm always real careful to pick up any nails or screws that happen to fall on the ground anywhere. Especially where I'm driving.
I recently repair my tire using tire plugging. I would like know is safe to drive long distances
This video just saved a Cab Driver! His company has no roadside assistance! So I helped him try to replace the tire. One lugnut was rusted. Luckily he had this kit and a mini tire air machine! We watched this video and 30 min later he drove off! Dirty and tired, but safe! Thank you!!
I normally apply rubber cement on the strip patch for added seal and at the same time the cement acts as a lubricant during the insertion.
That's what she said.
How long you driven the tire after? just curious if they are reliable
@@raulakh123 they will last forever. Tire shops are using this "old" method again due to tires/rims having tire pressure monitoring systems on them - taking tire off there is a risk on some to ruin the TPMS sensor
@@arniepries6480 yeah if your a shitty mechanic 😂😂 there is a certain way to take the tire off when it has tpms...
@@adamglockl - and they still charge the same price for a flat repair whether it’s a plug or tire removal - go figure!🙄

Worked perfectly. I added some of the tips mentioned in the comments such as using a small drill bit for a tiny puncture so the reamer could penetrate, and using the supplied cement glue on the inserter to make it easier to insert. Tires are doing great now. Thank you!

Thank you so much for the video! I was on the highway and got a puncture in my tire. 😱 I was able to get off the next exit and I actually temporarily plugged it with a little piece of rubber that I found in my car and some Gorilla glue. It actually held all the way home and was still holding the next morning when I was able to get a real plug!🔌🚙
You are very welcome, we really appreciate you sharing your experience. Incredible job on your behalf using the resources available & plugging hole with that piece of rubber to get home.
Hopefully many stress free days ahead for you. 😎👍
Wow lol impressive
Awesome! I have over 15,000 miles with a patch in one of my tires. If you do it correctly you will have no issues down the road.

I used this product a few weeks ago without removing the tire. I jacked up the vehicle and followed the instructions and let the glue dry for a few hours before refilling the tire and removing the jack.
Put on about 500 kms and so far so good!

I’m so glad you made that comment because I was wondering if I could do that myself to save some time thank you and by the way good video
Thanks for the vid. I had heard it was easy to do but never needed it until this weekend. It was kind of tough getting the reaming tool through the tire. I ended up drilling a larger hole with my drill. It could have just been where the hole was located in the tread. But all in all an easy fix to all those wondering. Thanks again.
Very cool & we appreciate you sharing this. Welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. These little plugs are extremely reliable & some of our viewers have mentioned they last years. Hopefully many stress free days ahead for you.
😎👍🔧🔩
Thanks, just did my first one and this gave me the added confidence to do it! I will add that you should probably put the rubber cement on the entire plug before you push it in to the hole like one of the other commenters had mentioned.
Can I normallu drive once I plug the hola or do I need to patch it after?
@@stua7x878 No need, that sucker is sealed tight!
Thank you for the video. I just bought the same kit from Auto Zone, I have a nail in my tire. Saved me $$$ going to get it repaired. 🙂👍

5/3/2021: I just followed your method, modified, and so far (drove 30 mph on bumpy road for 2 miles), checking air pressure, and soap-sudsing the plug for tell-tale bubbles, the repair to a leaking tire (losing 2lbs every 30 minutes) appears to hold. This was on the RR tire (2015 Civic LX). I jacked the car up, then rotated the tire until I saw a screw head. Marked the area. Then used emergency brake to hold the tire from moving, and started work. I used a phillips-screwdriver and pliers to remove the screw. The air came out. My difficulties: first, it took a big framing hammer to pound the reamer in, after which the reamer would go in an out OK with pushing and pulling by hand. I used Rubber Cement on both the plug material and on the end of the insertion tool. Then I couldn't get the damn plug in, even with pounding the insertion tool with the hammer, so I sliced another piece of insertion material down the middle and used half-a-thickness in the insertion tool; and THAT finally could be pounded in a couple inches. I just pulled it out like you're supposed to. We'll see if it holds. 5/9/21. The car has now been driven daily for 6 days, plus at least 60 mph, and no leakage from the tire. This is the second time I have successfully used a tire-plug kit to plug leaking tires, while the tire is still on the car.

One suggestion I would have is to NOT push the projectile(nail,screw etc) farther into the tire,but rather try to pull it out with a pair of needlenose pliers.. it could damage sensitive sensors or disrupt the balance of your wheel while you're on the highway. or even possibly re-puncture the tire somehow in another in another spot..its far fetched but possible
Good stuff. In addition to the comments about being quick with the plug and reamer, the Slime kit I got also came with some rubber cement. The plug is already super sticky, but the cement coating all over the plug can only help.

YES. The enclosed Rubber Cement is to be applied to the Sealing Strip and around the hole before inserting the Strip into the tire -- Cement acts as a lubricant to help the Strip go in -- and as a sealer when the Strip is in place.
Notice that the vehicle is in dire need of a Wheel Alignment. ;>(
Stay away from slime/fix a flat. It eats away at your TPMS sensor. Plug/patch is the way to go!
personally I try to remove the object first instead of just pushing it into the tire and having it roll around
Same
That's what I was thinking. Prying with a long thin nail and pulling with a pair of needle nose pliers would probably do the trick.
You should never push the nail inside of the tire. Pull it out with pair of pliers
What I do too. Pull it out. Quickly shove it in and keep air in place. Tank her out and then plug it. Even will use rubber cement after. And then snip off any extra. Idk it's the way I was taught at the dealer years back. Just gotta hope you dont have too big of a hole because you will want to double plug it and know deep inside you shouldn't. Sidewall though, no hope. Wouldn't ever touch someones tire if the leak was even too close to it. Not worth the risk.
Who said it was a nail
Thanks for the video saved $267 when Firestone said it’s repairable but they wouldn’t repair it because of tread height (their BS policy) but they would gladly sell me 1 new tire for $267.00. Too bad I got my 2 rear ones (same tires) for $330.00 all in. That was from a dealership (the irony 🤣) Won’t go back to FS ever again.

If you use the sealant that came with while your pushing the plug in it will make it much easier, with practically no resistance and also the sealant will seal it from the inside as well. Thanks for the video and God bless

Great video, helped me fix my tyre on a public holiday.
Awesome job making it a DIY project!! We appreciate you sharing this, Happy New Year John.
I like to do this repair instead of removing the tire to repair it properly. Saves me a lot of time and money. I get nails near on the outer or edge of the tire and that's where tire shops will tell you they cannot repair the tire and require you to buy a new tire.
Is it still fine to repair there? I have a puncture close to the end of tread wondered if I shoukd try this
@@abimhhgrrcunzolebh1688 you can, if it's too close to the sidewall then the tire shouldn't be repaired and put a spare tire on instead
When using the reamer be sure not to twist it just strait in and strait
Out

Good tip! But, a strait is a narrow body of water, or a dire predicament. It's "straight" in and out.
@@scrapper666 lol...I saw too! Straight away!
A lot of people use a drill bit on a drill and it work great. And you need to pull out the screw not just push it in. Flat head screwdriver and a needle nose pliers. Should always be kept with the plug kit. When you buy a complete kit they actually come with a cheap pliers and screwdrivers. Never push the object into the tire.
We Are Anonymous just what I was taught in school due to the ability to move the belts in the tire may not be as relevant bow
Just got this done at a local shop for $7 and wanted to see if this is actually how it’s done because it’s not something I’d expect lol. Appreciate the video I think I’ll just do it myself next time.

@Desmond Bagley you mean "tires"
@Peter Anagnostidis I plug my passenger car tires all the time. If it's in the shoulder it'll last 6 months and air will slowly leak out. Most tire shops won't do it for you, but, if you DIY it it'll get you down the road until you can get the tore replaced. In the center of the tire, the plugs are usually good for the life of the tire, or a few years. YMMV. I don't go mudding, so I can't say. You'll need to ask elsewhere.
A tip for those who struggle with inserting the plug- if you're having trouble putting it in place, a bit of dish soap (preferably Dawn dish soap) can fix that right away.

Use vulcanizing rubber cement. it seals the hole. always use the right kinda lube.
You can simply use the glue that came with the kit, dab a little before inserting
The glue he mentions is a hardening compound but paint it on the plug this makes it slimy and easy to push in. The tool he used the clean the hole is called a reamer. 3-5 times all the way in and out is plenty.

Most plugs are RTV (room temperature vulcanizing) and don't require rubber cement. However the rubber cement won't harm anything and does make the plug easier to push in.

I've been at a tire shop for over an hour and there's been like 5 cars that have come through and got work done. Never again

@@commiesnzombies I lived next to that tire shop and never had more flats lol. If I was in the glass business I'd keep a fresh supply of rocks
Came across your vid today after I got a flat. I was freaking out at first as it is Sunday Eve and there was no tire shop available to fix my tire. Ran to Walmart and got a plug for my flat.

Tire warranties won’t cover punctures near the sidewall. Tire companies are crooks when it comes to repair requirements. And most tire shops don’t know anything. Plugs always work if the hole isn’t huge.

I wasted several strips trying to force them through the tire. You need to inflate the tire to at least 10 psi or close to that so the tire gives you resistance when forcing the tool and strip in. I had an inflator in my garage and just put a peace of paper and my finger against the hole as I was filling up the tire with air. Once it got to about 10 psi, I quickly moved on to plug the tire. Went right in. Great video by the way.

Good video. Although, instructions on the Slime tire patch kit, said to rapidly remove the set tool to replace it from the tire and to separate it from the plug. You stated to slowly remove the tool. You also didn’t mention, after you plug the hole and fill it up to the proper psi, you use a bottle with water and soap and spray over the hole, if there is no bubbles the hole is repaired, if you see bubbles you need to reset the plug.
I love the sound of the rasping

Maybe they dropped it on accident or didn’t see it. Stop being petty
q s1 yeah I don’t know man. I haven’t had a puncture in about 3 years. I bought 4 brand new tyres yesterday and today I punctured 2 tyres... with only one spare tyre I had to call an Uber just to take them to be repaired. The driver didn’t want to take me as the wheels were covered in sut... I had to call a mobile tyre repair guy. £80 for 2 tyres to be repaired.
The repair guy had me by the balls as I was working and this was preventing me from getting paid. All because someone dropped a bunch of screws.
Ive seen this done a dozen times. It looks too easy. Going to try it. Thnx
Good morning ☕️ looking forward to hearing back from you on how the project goes. 🧰
AWSOME straight to the point 👍🏼
Thanks for watching & that’s our goal. Hope all is well with you and your family, thanks for watching.

I didn't know these existed. I only knew about fix a flat spray and professional plugs at tire shops. When I had a screw in my tire the tire shop said it was too close to the sidewall and refused to do it. So I went to a used tire shop and he patched it for ten bucks with this method. I've driven over ten thousand miles on that patch and have never had this tire go low. Buncha scam artists out there I tell you.

So true & I couldn’t agree with you more! That’s the main reason why we started this TH-cam channel...to reach out to those such as yourself that are not willing to put up with selfish & un-trustful mechanics.
We ourselves have been taken advantage of & we were very disappointed to realize this actually happens to people. 😲😲😲

Thank you so much!!! Just made my "unscheduled" repair. Won't be working at the Indy 500, but it was 1:20 from discovery, repair purchase, to getting on with my day.
Your suppose to pull up quickly not slow. Peace and God Bless
I agree.
Why and why not slowly? Just wondering
@@esplicitittyyy6563 It may pull the plug back out. When you pull quick, it will release/cut the plug and stay in the tire.
this video will continue to be helpful for a long time

My tires were on crack they held up like any attic say 2 years. I put them on my boat trailer 7 years ago still holding up.
Nice, you skipped the one part I was trying to figure out, pulling it out without pulling thing with it. How did you manage that? LOL
Okay, I looked again, and it's there. Before the video just jump cut over it. Must have been a glitch. My apologies. Thanks for the video. I've done it before, but was having trouble. I remember something about twisting it before you pull it out...
There is a slit on the end of the tool so that the rubber strip will come out when you pull out the tool.
If the plug comes out, the hole is probably too big
Thanks, you saved my Sunday!
Awesome, that’s great to hear. Sunday’s are important, thanks for watching. 😁👍
Nice video thank you now i have confidence i can use my kit to fix my tire and save me a & 25.00 fix from Town Fair tire!! I think thats the best part is saving money. Thnx for the great video!! 😂

People don't know the different, and people will not search for "plugging a tire". So if you change the title, no one will ever find the video. People will search for "patching a tire" and this infomation will still be helpful to them.
2:17 Couldn't you just use a tripod or place the camera somewhere? We missed the best part of the video.

I'll let you know. I'm about to plug mine
Daniel Smith
Thanks for watching. 😎👍🔧🔩
Yes, I’d you did it correctly.
A plug is a short term fix depending on the life tread left on the tire. If in correctly it molds to the tire eventually and speed isn't a factor. If your on the outside edge one inch or less an internal patch is recommended

Got a screw in my tire today, this video helped tremendously
Thanks for watching & we appreciate you sharing this. So happy to help, enjoy your weekend Adrian.
I'm only gonna add 1 thing... You forgot to put the Rubber Cement on the sticky plug before inserting it into the tire...
That's all.... Good Video Though...

Some of those plug kits don't use cement. I used to work at a parts store, the more expensive ones are SUPER sticky and don't require any. The "self vulcanize" or so they claim...

Thanks for sharing James. That’s awesome!

@@Jamespennington71 yea his plugs were real sticky looking.
The plug HAS to be trimmed it can come out if it's not.
