Four Repair Kits, One Tire

Testing four different tire plugging kits on the same tire, at the same time and then pressure testing the repairs. This was just a basic static test to see how each repair would withstand higher than normal air pressure and whether any of the repairs would leak air. I drilled the holes in the tire so that all 4 punctures would be virtually identical.

The kits demonstrated in the video are:

1. Tire Plug Strip: This consists of a rubber strip which is inserted into the tire using an open-tipped insertion tool. The middle of the strip is pushed into the tire, leaving about ½ inch of each end remaining outside the tire. As you withdraw the tool it bunches the strip inside the tire which acts as an internal plug. The strip ends are then cut away using a blade. Some kits add rubber cement to the strip, some use a lubricant/sealant and some kits don’t add anything to the strip before insertion into the tire.

2. Mushroom Plug: A nozzle is placed in through the hole in the tire with the help of a probe tool. Then, the head of the mushroom plug is squeezed through the nozzle by rotating a force screw inside the core of the main body of the tool. The nozzle is then pulled out of the tire, leaving only the mushroom stem protruding from the tire. This is cut away using a blade. The mushroom plug kit does not use any rubber cement or any other type of glue.

3. Sticky Strip: This Chemi-cure kit is similar to the tire plug strip kit but this one uses a closed tip insertion tool. The center of the strip is pushed into the tire, rotated a few turns and pulled back out through the tire. The excess strip outside the tire is then cut away using a blade. The rubber strip cures into and becomes part of the tire. This kit does not require any rubber cement or any other type of glue.

4. Tire Repair Screw: This kit is the quickest to use and is basically a small screw, covered in a rubber sealant, which is screwed into the tire, sealing the puncture.

NOTE: These kits are designed for tubeless tires and are used as temporary repairs to get you to a tire shop where you can have the tire inspected and patched internally by a professional. I am only demonstrating how to use the repair kits. I am not endorsing or recommending the use of any of the kits as a replacement for a professional or permanent tire repair.
