Title: Emergency Tire Repair Post by solotripper on Feb 14th, 2023 at 6:04pm
I thought I would share this info.
We've all had flat tires. Most of mine were where help was a long way off. I have your usual flat repair kits where you put a plug in the tire and use a can of sealant to inflate it. Or you just had to change your tire for the spare. Depending on where your at that can be a real pain. I came upon this product. What sold me was it was the only one that claimed it would seal those pesky rim leaks. If you have a certain type of wheel, corrosion will cause them. The normal fix is to dismount the tire, clean/sand the rim and remount. That means for most people a trip to the tire store and all that involves. I've used it on all 4 tires of my old truck. Did them during the summer and they've held air since then. I have a portable air compressor you hook to battery but this company sells a self-contained kit which after doing the first tire to test it out, I then bought the kit. You would still need to pull a nail/screw from the tire tread but that's not a big deal with some side grip pliers. If the hole was real big, you'd want to use the included plugs. I haven't noticed any balance issues either. (You need to Login or Register |
