Some of the plugs have been known to fail catastrophically resulting in fatalities. I think the fact almost anyone can fit these plugs could be part of the reason for this. Most workshops will examine the condition of the tyre, size and placement of the hole first. In some places the plugs are recommended as a temp fix. I did some work in a workshop where we used a kit identical to the Western Weld. They worked well enough and I don't believe there were ever any problems. Having said that, where I am we have a very mild climate and almost never experience snow or below zero temperature which may affect these plugs. We also never used them in sidewalls or off the tread.

@carlosgraphic 7 ай бұрын

@@CheepchipsableWell my friend. Where I am from, people and tire shops don't care much where they put the patch on tires since tires are very expensive and hard to find. Tires that are repaired can last a month or tire life, depending on the condition of the tire and roads. You probably don't believe this but I had seen tires that you literally can see wires and the air. We call that tires "Chivas".

One of my first jobs was in a Service Station and we fixed tires (yes, long ago) and I can't say how many tires we plugged over the years. It was a lot. We never had issues getting simple tread penetrations to seal up and no one ever came back to complain. Back then (late 70's) the plugs looked like the Westweld ones in this video but they were brown and not made of rubber. It was some kind of sticky fibrous material. I personally would not worry about using a tire that had a plug in it. The likelihood of a catastrophic failure of a tire from a tire puncture repair (barring other damage) is very small unless you drive very fast and push tires to the limits. Just my opinion anyway... Great job testing as always.

Plugs have proven themselves over and over and personally use them on my own cars. The only bad thing about plugs is if an idiot owns the car and drove miles with a flat tire and shredded the internal sidewall. So plugging the flat cured that but this internal side walls are ruined and can blow out. Again only an idiot would drive miles on a pure flat tire but it happens all the time.

The best tire repair kit is the one someone is carrying when you blow a tire on a camping trip! :) I blew a tire on my truck hauling a trailer full of camping gear way up in the mountains of Central Utah. With the help of some very friendly folks in a SxS and an overland-prepped Tacoma, we used four of the Slime-type plugs to fix the rather large hole in my tire. Once the tire stopped leaking and was holding pressure, I was back on the road again. I had the best time watching these guys spring into action to fix a busted vehicle! Truly, the off-road community has lots of great people. And it looked like you had a lot of fun spinning that Suburban around in the grass!

Add 2 more from me. The repairs were good for the lifetime of the tires. The only issue with these kits is that the rubber cement is extremely volatile and will dry out once opened, long before you need to use it again. So my policy is, one kit is good for single repair only, unless you get multiple punctures within a small time frame, which is unlikely.

I've never had any problem with low-end rubberized string tire plugs like those from Slime - I've driven thousands of miles over years on them (I had new tires on my car when the neighbors built a new house, and I got a few screws used to attach stucco mesh in my tires during that time). I find that E6000 cement makes an even better 'lube' and glue for the rubberized string tire plugs, and it doesn't dry out in the tube for years, even after opening. I agree about the Slime handles, but there are other versions of those handles which are larger and more comfortable. I've never had to rebalance a tire after putting in a plug, either.

Excellent experiment with all these different plugs. Thanks for taking the time to both test and demonstrate. I have had excellent luck with the Slime kits. I saw a plug first used over 50 years ago. Since then, I’ve plugged my own tires. My last two uses were for sidewall punctures. The tire repair shops would not touch the tires. So, I simply plugged them. One tire was new and the plug lasted for 40,000 miles before replacing all the tires. The second fix is ongoing. My method is slightly different than the instructions to prevent further damage to the tires. I did not ream out the sidewall puncture - I just removed the wire and gently inserted the rope covered with glue. I gave it time to set up and left some of the rope sticking out after cutting. It lasted for the life of the tire.

I use the slime style plugs. One trick I have learned is to use a 13/64" drill bit in a drill motor instead of a reamer when possible. It takes the work out of the job. Also fill the tire up to it's max tire pressure (before you pull the nail or screw out) so the tire holds its shape while you work

I have several different kits and each one has pros and cons. My experience is that unless your puncture is straight in, don't use mushroom plugs. Mushroom plugs also have a higher rate of developing leaks after time. Rubberized rope plugs are so much more reliable. They plug well at an angle and I've never had a single repair fail, and I've repaired more than I count. Another thing to keep in mind is that any diy repair will void your road hazard warrantee.

Love the program, my friend. I will note, as a former mechanic and tire installer, you probably wouldn't have noticed a tire balance problem with the tire on the rear of the vehicle and even on the front you probably wouldn't feel anything until you reached around 55mph ( I don't know why that specific speed but always at 55). The belts almost never get "broken" or slipped from inserting the tool, the distortion is so small it has minimal effect on the life of the tire. But as all products go they have to warn of the possibility. I also have used tire slime and similar kits with great success. I can assure those at home that the Tire Slime kit will work perfectly!

The smooth reaming tool pushes the fibers or wires aside with out nicking or cutting them. Those strands will return and bind the plug in place.
