Plugging a car tire

[onebadvet]

Have any of you ever herd of Dynaplug, it's different way to plug a tire, without using the old fashion plug kit.
I was wondering if any of you used it, and what do you think of the product, on Amazon it gets 5 stars.

I also posted a video of how it works.

I've used first kit with the brown cord and tools. It took me 5 minutes and I fixed it right on my truck. I think it cost me $10 and I have enough left to do 4 more punctures.

Not sure of the Dynaplug.

Kind of interesting, i worked in a tire shop for a few years right outta high school, have repaired literally thousands of tires. We always used a plug-patch combo, very little chance of failure.... but for the average guy this seems like a good alternative to the old style plugs. Could always do like the coal miners tho.... earplug in the hole then slime it lol.

Thank you, I thought I was the only one. 95% of these videos need to be edited to no longer than 2 minutes.

90 seconds is better.

After 42 years as an equipment mechanic, I've fixed tires on everything from lawn mowers to earth movers.
This product leaves me completely underwhelmed.

I use a Stop and Go tire plug kit. It uses mushroom head plugs. I originally bought it for my motorcycle but now keep it in my truck (no longer ride). I've used it three times so far, all successfully. I still take the tire to the shop for a proper repair (patch added) or replacement as needed as soon as possible.

A tire plugging kit should be used in order to get to a place where the puncture can be properly plugged. I've seen plugs last a long time and I've seen them last less than a few miles. A lot depends on the plugger! I carried a plugging kit thousands of miles when riding a motorcyle. Got me out of a very long walk a couple of times. Still have that kit but it is now too old to trust. Wouldn't cost much to replace it, but it's been so long since I've had a flat on one of my vehicles, I haven't done that. Actually, I had one but the only thing that would fix that flat was a new tire. I have had a few slow leaks that allowed me to get home and get the tire fixed. I consider a good plugging kit to be worth the money, but I won't leave home without my little portable compressor. A half flat tire won't last long on hot pavement with a full load! Stopping often and checking the tire pressure with a slow leak and adding air sure beats walking!

I have a plug kit in every vehicle and a 12V air compressor. I have actually used it on my own cars and trucks twice. I done dozens of repairs for women at church (I've been called out in the middle of the night 2 or 3 times). I know the system I use works. My best friend had a gas station in the 80's, I use what he used!

My advice, get you one of these and a flat bar.... great way for a young (or old) man or woman to make some extra money too.

Re: OP. Looks like a good idea. Will fit right in the dash of the car. Haven't got to be a trained repair man to make it work. JMHO. Sincerely. bruce.

That's what AAA is for.

 

[chief38]

I have been using the Safety Seal System for 30 + years and have never had one leak. They last the life of the tire as well.

Six bucks and always work.
Requires a little effort is all.

Tire plugs saved my butt a few times on my Alaska trip back in 1995. It saved my having to take the tire off as I plugged it still on the conversion van and re-inflated it. Many of the Canadian roads were full of shale that would cut a small hole and they were easy to fix using the plug method. Canada roads show a need for multiply tires for sure..

The average time spent watching a youtube video is only 3 minutes.
