Classic car and motorcycle tire patch - use rubber cement for a better seal
by pstaffor (5 out of 5 stars)
November 9, 2017

These things always work, even in sidewall repairs. I've had dozens of punctures over the years, and I've never had to do an inside-patch repair. These tar patches always work and usually protect for years, or until the tire wears out. My one exception is a low-profile high-speed rated tire that I repaired on a car that seldom gets driven. On a track, I must have heated the tires up too much, or the plug was just too old, but I finally lost a plug during a fast run and the tire slowly went flat. I got a ride home, picked up another patch, filled the tire up, finished my track day, and that patch has held to this day. Some might think these are dangerous, but I just don't see how. Getting a flat is always a little dangerous, but with semi-run flat low-profile tires, flats are just annoying and can be fixed with tar patches just as well as any tire. I have even patched a motorcycle tire and that held until the tire needed replacing.

Better Than Being Stuck
by Inspector Nash Bridges (5 out of 5 stars)

For whatever reason, this is the only brand of tire repair plug available on Amazon from a known USA brand. All of the other tire repair products are from overseas sellers. Ironic since Slime is better known for that green stuff that you are never suppose to use for a tire repair.

Okay, I know that tire shop techs hate it when someone uses Slime or Fix-A-Flat. But then again, they are not stuck on the side of the road, in the middle of the night, in a snow storm, with you when you got your flat. And for whatever reason, the mechanic in a can was your only option.

Think about that. You are either lacking in mechanical ability, knowledge, and/or tools. Your only option is the worst option. But it gets you off the side of the road.

Assuming that you can find and access the puncture, have the ability to remove the foreign object, and have the necessary tools; these tire plugs are great.

Know that after you plug a tire, you should bring your vehicle into a qualified shop as soon as possible. The right thing to do is to have a tire technician take the tire off the wheel, and inspect the inside for damage. Sometimes the shop will want to add a patch or plug-patch for a better seal. And even if you think they are trying to rip you off, the safest option is to replace the tire.

Plugs can fail. Plugs can leak air where you installed the plug. Plugs can come out. No matter what anyone tells you about using a fifty cent plug to save a few hundred on a new tire: it is you who can get killed when that plug fails at freeway speed.

Sure, plug the tire, and you can be on your way. But the plug is not a long term solution. Personally, I've never wanted to ride a motorcycle on a plugged tire.

With a car, this presents an option. Now you can either plug the tire, or use the little donut spare Some cars don't come with a spare tire at all. Or what if you get 2 flats? Just give yourself an extra option. Learn to plug a tire.

Saved my tire.
by Kathy E. (5 out of 5 stars)
September 1, 2017

Worked well. My old set had dried up after way too many years and I needed a replacement. Recently I had a sidewall puncture on a zero turn mower, not wanting to run right out and get a new 150 dollar tire, I thought I would try this first. Just for the heck of it and knowing that most sidewall puncture means the end of the tire, I tried one plug but it still leaked, so I tried three of them at one time and thought it worked, it didn't, it went flat overnight.

So now with three of them in the sidewall I thought why not try one more since the leak is now very small. viola, success,now a month later the tire is still up and no longer leaking. Four of them did the trick, since I had nothing to lose on trying it out, I saved the price of a new tire and still have plenty of plugs left. Then two days later I had a flat on the small front tire, stuck a plug in and it worked on the first try.

Absolute _essential_ for any car.
by T. Kadrie (5 out of 5 stars)
December 22, 2018

The first thing I put in all of my cars/trucks is a solid air pump that runs off of a cigarette lighter (cars/wife) or clips on the battery terminals (my truck).

The SECOND thing I've always stuffed INSIDE the pump "˜bag', is a tire plug kit.

The pump will get you off the highway and out of danger.

And in s pinch if you can't change your own tire, AAA will save your bacon if they can get to you.

But when AAA can't get to you, or is a long time wait - (our cabin at the end of a logging road in the woods) - a tire plug just might get you out, to where you can get the tire properly repaired or replaced.

And frequently, a plug is all you need for years of use on the tire.

Cheap insurance. Oh and always make sure you've got spare plugs like these, on-hand. :D

I like the old red ones that I used to use ...
by Benjamin Russo (3 out of 5 stars)

These are OK, but they ripped in the middle (on the tool) when pushing them into a nail hole.

I like the old red ones that I used to use at a garage.

They had strong rope in them, so you used all your muscle to force them into the tire, and they didn't rip.

what can i say they're tire plugs.
by judd (5 out of 5 stars)
May 29, 2013

The Slime brand is one ive used for a lot of years and i trust them. I work out in the desert a lot and get many punctured tires in the sidewall of my tires so these come in handy. I have driven on one of these in my sidewall for months and its held on good and strong. I didnt get a slow leak or anything. One piece of advice they dont like to go in the hole unless you have used the reaming tool and put some glue to lubricate it. It will hold for you though.

Good for ATV's and UTV's (4 wheelers and utility 4 wheelers such as the Polaris Ranger)
by Dave J (4 out of 5 stars)
November 21, 2013

If you are a regular user of tire plugs, you have already surmised that this is a deal on plugs. I use the plugs in my ATV/UTV tires when purple goo sealant or slime won't work.

Pro's:

Economical

One plug with a dab of rubber cement does the trick for smaller holes (1/8 inch or less)

Con's:

the plugs are relatively short. So if you are plugging a huge / thick tractor tire or a thick "E" / "F" rated ply tire, this may not be what you want. You should seek longer / better ones for that application.

the plugs are not thick in diameter. If you look at them, the material shows through the black rubber coating. sometimes I have to use 2 or 3 plugs for large holes. higher quality, thicker plugs such as the vulcanized ones, are probably better for that.

Overall: If you are using a bunch of plugs for atv's / utv's as I do, these will do the trick. I also use "PurpleGoo" sealant in my atv tires to avoid using plugs on tiny holes. 4 out of 5 stars because the plugs could be thicker for better results.

A Must Have for Every Vehicle
by chowly (5 out of 5 stars)

I've used these tire plugs on several different vehicles of various sizes, from little priuses to big ol' pick-up trucks and they've always gotten me out of any puncture directly to the tread of the tire. Perfect for the unfortunate times you happen to run over a screw, nail, or sharp rock in the road.

These are recommended as a temporary fix, but I've found these plugs will last for the remainder of the life of the tire until the rest of the tread wears bald.

I will always keep a tire plug kit in all of my vehicles!

These are great for ATV/UTV side-wall slashes...
by FMC (5 out of 5 stars)
April 29, 2011

In my opinion, these are the best at sealing side-wall slashed ATV/UTV tires when out on a trail. I have repaired 2 side-wall slashed ATV tires and 1 UTV slashed tire with these plugs in the last year. One side-wall slash was for a very frugal riding buddy and he still uses the tire with 4 plugs sealing it and it doesn't loose air from the slash. Since they are really flexible/sticky and can get real thin when squeezed, they are good at the corner edges of slashes. it may take 2-4 plugs but they work great. TIP: Get a PVC pipe and put a tube of cement in it and store it that way so it won't get all smashed up. When you ride ATV's have the cement, plug-tool, plugs, inflation source (CO2) ready. Also, if you have regular plugs that stay round, try those in the center of the slash and make sure you put these gooey ones in the corners of the slashes. A small amount of rubber cement will show a bubble developing and you can carefully stick in another plug. Always cary way more than you think you will need. And have a good multi-tool handy and you will be able to finish the trail without being towed back or having the tire come off the rim.

The only con is that these plugs get messy when they get hot; oh well, they are still the best. I pre-cut them from the plastic but leave the plastic on each one. The plastic is hard to pull off because the tar is so gooey but boy do these work great.

If you have a UTV, you will need lots of inflation, It takes several CO2 to fill up a tire; however, you might as well keep a big can of fix-a-flat handy since you have room, keep it packed in something soft because your tires need a lot of air to fill back up.

Our go to tire repair plugs!
by Mommygadgets (5 out of 5 stars)

We often fix our own tires when there is a nail or screw in the tire. My husband is great at it and has taught our son. We have 3 cars. When we ran out of the plugs we wanted to buy replacements before we forgot. I found this set and it is such a great deal! Very happy and we will be able to fix lots of tires with this!
