Honestly they both have the same chance of surviving the remaining life of the tire.
Rope plugs for life baby. Cheap, 99.9999% effective and reliable. Don’t have to dismount the tire, hell you don’t even have to Jack the car up!! Lol like someone else said, it’s a no brainer!
As a commuter I do over 100 miles a day every day and I’ve never had a plug give me the slightest issue
They both work I haven’t seen issues from the plugs, but more secure would be the plug patch
Sounds like you just wanna make that extra $$$ to get the tire off the rim.
@@bigpeezyweezyit’s not about that at all. It’s about the liability a shop takes when they “fix” a flat. If they plug it and blows out and kills someone, who are they gonna sue? That’s right the shop.
And no I don’t own or work at a shop.
@@bigpeezyweezyknow the right people or place it's not that bad. I just had to leave a google review and they did it for me for free lol 20 bucks wasn't bad also but shoot. Gotta know the right people
@@mosely25, a road hazard can happen anywhere any time. Just because you "know the right people" in your podunk town doesn't mean anything if you are traveling, and learning "the right people" can take lots of trial and error.
Nice video. IF i was broke then the patch but always a new tyre as it's not my life i'm worried about but other people's on the roads whether it be other road users or a passenger in mine.
Patch Plugs are better. Plugs are easier but not always 100 percent. I would have to patch the plugs if it was leaking on occasion when i was working at Firestone. But it gets the job done
5$ plug vs 65$ patch...no need to say more.
With plugs being so reliable, easily available and fairly inexpensive, unless your a mechanic with the available tools and time, it's a no-brainer.
I do more plugs than patches at the shop most people want quick and cheap.
If patches really cost $65 I might as well go ahead and buy a new tire. Crazy stuff
@@LightsaberGoBrrrrrrSome 21 and 22 inch tires cost $500-600 a pop.
65???? You can get at Firestone or Pepboys for under 30. Free at Firestone if you buy their tires.
@ryanwashere21 30$ with a patch/plug and balance?
Still, kinda expensive if you get multiple flats fixed in the life of a tire, not to mention your time.
As long as the tire is like new condition the Tire Rubber Plug will hold for 12,000 miles
Could you plug then throw a patch over it? Or is that over kill
I wouldn’t do that but they do make plug patches that are the best of both worlds.
@@TheEnthusiastMechanic gotcha
Anecdotal opinion... plugs work just as good, but patches are superior. There is no wrong choice.
Depending on how large the puncture will also dictate which you use
Why is it vs? Should always be plug AND patch.
I’m comparing the two different types. People do use just the plug alone so that’s why it’s a VS showing the difference to educate people!
Not much tire life left on that tire 😂... Anyways
This was a junk tire. I was just using it for the purpose of showing the differences.
