When I was young and broke, I fixed a leak in a bald tire with orange RTV and a piece of duct tape. It was a leak in the tread that would go completely flat in about 30 minutes. I cleaned the hole out with an old round file and cleaned around it with brake -Kleen. Then I squeezed the RTV (from the squeeze tube🙄) into the hole and slapped a chunk of duct tape on it and left it overnight. Next day I aired it up and it held! I put about another 50 miles on that tire back and forth to work until my next payday 👍😎
I had a mountain bike with wide knobbly off-road tyres . Started a new job and realised the wheels are terrible drag on roads to work. Spent the evening in front of the TV . cutting most of the tread off . Made a huge difference to drag
@@volvo09there’s no law that says you must have officially produced tires is there?!? And The actual tires are produced by a legal tire manufacturer. It’s Basically a retread Which is totally legal. If it’s a retread able tire.
Im surprised how well it worked, Could see it being handy if you was in a remote village and needed to repair a tire for the time being. wonder if the tires was scuffed up then put the sealant on would hold to the tire better.
man, gunna hafta try this now... i can't beleive it help up after a burn out like that, with 'normal' driving it should be ok for a while i'd say. i got many old crappy tires, and winter is just starting... see how far i can get before they explode or i end up in a ditch
That caulking is a sticky mess to work with! I had to fix a trailer window using that stuff and I got more on me than where it was supposed to go! I wonder if that will repair a timing belt!
In the US, there used to be an electical device that you could use to "restore" worn out tyres by melting new tread into the tyres, of course it was a bad idea cos people would melt down to the bands and compromise the tyre structure and end up with big blowouts as a result, costing them more in repairs than just getting new tyres... :P
They need tread for the snow. I would have added sipes (small crosswise cuts) just to grip better on wet pavement. There is a LOT of tech that goes into tires, to be fair. I did my thesis on tires, and the incredible amount of data I learned….
Pls can you "shorten" a Lada? Like remove the mid-section and weld it back together, so the driver sits in the trunk basically. I saw shrunk Fiat Panda, and it was really funny. The video is called: The guys from Italy made a shortened Fiat Panda from the 80s.
what a great idea, unfortunately you will lose your car registration for this, great hat I would like one and a baseball cap but I can only open the site with a VPN and Germany is not welcome at the moment but you are great, you have amazing mechanics and everyone wants a boss like that, I definitely
Kiedyś kupiłem samochód który przy 160 zgubił taką właśnie klejową narzutkę xd nie polecam. Na szczęście dało się wyhamować samochód bo tylko spadł zbieżnik z samochodu ale niesmak pozostał.
I suggest to try it during the summer, and see the result will be different or not. Thanks for the hard work.
F
I had that same feeling too hopefully they'll handle because they're for hot engines
What happened that there are no Ladas in this video :'c
@ 0:27 there is a Niva in the background haha..
They have been turned into spacecraft, and are sitting on the surface of Venus.
Putin turned them into ballistic missiles
They finally destroyed all of them
Prob too cold for any to start lol
If that is windshield sealant, that’s some worthy stuff. I fixed a tire with it about 9 years ago. It worked great.
I suspect it is from how durable it was.
Urethane. It actually makes windshields structural. That's how strong it is. Cutting it out is difficult.
Windshield sealant is some amazing stuff. I use it to fix holes in my rubber boots.
They didn't really show what it was. It does look like window sealant.
Those are ready for Marketplace.....

Extra poor man's tire plug 😂.
That poor guy cutting those threads :,D
Some of us would find that clinically soothing to make such a nice, amazing looking tread pattern.
Looks relaxing ngl. Put on some music or a book and have at it
There is an actual machine made for cutting tires, much better than box cutter.
Aren't all tires made like this?
I love the way you think outside of all the boxes.
You do such a good job with the tyres so much hard work
Yeah, i can't believe they made 4!
I used to hate putting studs in tires with an air gun, nevermind all that work!!
the bots in the comments are crazy
ikr? awful amount!
thirst trap bots
The Western spy in comment is blyat

Beep boop
Please…. Never stop making videos. It has to be the brightest spot, in my life in these days and times we are all having. Well done, sir. 🍺👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I can see this as being a way to make a QFE set of racing slicks. Not sure about going the other way.though.
Front tires do the braking so those similar stopping results would be expected.
From 50kmh though
Here in the u.s. I've used a product called NP-1 to re-sole some slippery sole boots; sticks great to pvc soles; pretty durable too
Always doing interesting things i like how with everything you guys do you explain your method
As a kid I used to use a grooving iron and put dirt track grooves on racing slicks

Sunday morning videos don’t get any better than garage 54. Keep up the good works guys.
Should have used a tire groover to make new tread
They did. His name is Alexi.
114% Satisfying video!
Hey, that's over 107% success!
Nice wrx
Everyone rushing out to buy rubber caulk.
"hey Alexa, order me a black rubber caulk"
@@Mastermindyoung14 🍆
Imagine failing car inspection / mot for bad tires, and you come back for a retest with handmade tread 😂

I never get TIRED of your videos

Im curious if it would enchance the durability by mixing it with fiber glass?
Incredible that it adhered so well.
There's a lot of derby car guys that crack eggs in their radiators to fix leaks- would be a fun video to try radiator fixes like that
I’ve used black pepper.
It does work, and it doesn’t clog radiators or coolant ports!
Fascinating how they changed the tires while driving xD
Next highway and moose testing
An american mechanic over here. I genuinly LOVE watching the crazy shit you guys come up with. Yall make averege mechanics look like children
I would buy some refurbished tires from you guys!!!

Do the same test but in summer time to really check the durability of this experiment
Nice Caulk!
Lexus burnouts are always cool!
0:05 Lada snow. Once you’ve heard it, it can not be unheard😂
I love you videos I'm from the United States no war

Have you been to Detroit, Chicago, st Louis, or Atlanta?
Have you been to Scranton Pennsylvania?! Place is a war zone brooo
Trump will stop the war... I hope. We need world peace

the wagon in the background looks like an Australian Holden Commodore 😂 probably a Skoda tho
Urethane windshield glue is some strong stuff!
Pedal happy!
In the states of current goofiness, we call it LEADFOOT!
It's still 85F here, stay warm over there.
Take normal tyres and fill the grooves to make racing slicks :D
They wont handle better probably worse slicks are softer sticker rubber
Likely the front tires chunked out more because they were the turning/steering tires.
That caulking is a sticky mess to work with! I had to fix a trailer window using that stuff and I got more on me than where it was supposed to go!
I wonder if that will repair a timing belt!
It worked better than I expected, but I wonder how durable this will be. Would it even last half a season? I doubt it.

8:00 those wheels are crazy, omG 😍
Oh man, my forearm hurts just watching you with the caulk gun.. 🤣
Can you do the same test on rain and see which groove patterns work the best
lexus gs featured, instant like
Great testing!
0:54 just tie some nylon ropes on the tyre to get more grip and carry extra because it will break time to time.
Front tires were too cold and caulk got brittle and chunked off.
problem with snow is not much of driving on it, but stopping :)))
The real idlers ❤ rwb nakai
driving without timing belt/chain cover (feeding it with things like you did with the turbo)
I say these tires make for a perfect spare
More heat and sprinkle small gravel or sand. It should really increase traction! Until it fails :)
Do not need to cut the tread, just call it a racing tire.
They need tread for the snow.
I would have added sipes (small crosswise cuts) just to grip better on wet pavement.
There is a LOT of tech that goes into tires, to be fair.
I did my thesis on tires, and the incredible amount of data I learned….
Up here in Canada we call it caulking not calking.
I love Lexus gs in that body
so this is the best mod for a kids electric car. could give the little jeep some tread
The tire-carving part would have been a lot easier and faster with actual thread-carving knives.
There is a hand machine called a skiver made for that. Some truck tires are re-groovable

@twentyrothmans7308 I'm assuming they got in trouble with the law or are just too busy scrapping.
@@grabasandwich Noise complaints from the people in the graveyard.
That air conditioner incident still makes me laugh.
very nice brat.
So the typical garage in your town has dozens of tubes of caulk? I'm more likely to find 4 new tires in my garage as I am that much caulk.
I tuoi video sono sempre così divertenti e interessanti! È un vero piacere guardarli.🌓💖🏋️
Get off, bot!
This channel is absolutely crazy and I watch every one that pops up, it's great
Wonder if the sealant would add tracktion in the dry seeing it's probably softer then rubber
How much caulk do you have to use to restore the tire, and how much does it cost compared to the price of a new tire?
Make an entire tire from bathroom calk.
Better yet, make a belted tire from scratch out of silicone RTV!
I will admit, it would not be easy…
Can you compare the reliability of the Toyota's/Lexuses with the Lada's?
Is that a lada vida in the first section? I’d love to have an old one from the Soviet era, I’d absolutely drive that around here in the u.s.
So how many razor knife blades did you go through after cutting all the treads?
Hallo, can you please let me know what type of caulking did you use for this? I want to try restoring RC car tyres this way.
I suggest put a motorcycle sequential transmission in a lada
give a thumbs up
On the rear tires the sealant was vulcanised
I am surprised to see that there is snow everywhere but not in Canada (I live in Canada and today on November 23... no snow)
You did not pay enough carbon tax.
Greta's masters are angry with you.
@@themetalslayer2260 Hooray! No snow in New Brunswick 🐒
Extraordinary
Put another piece of tire on top for pattern then remove this good for scooter tires
Try a v shaped chisel next time for cutting notches/ grooves in tires 4:40
No place for that in Russian engineering equivalent to redneck engineering
Despicable you 😂. Your the godfather of RUclips.
10:13 is that an American freightliner century or Columbia? I didn’t know you had those over there
nice carpark full of tyre punctures now lol.

a high speed test? if they will hold the g forces?
don't let the used tire shop see this
Surely a tyre regroover would have been a better option over a razor blade.
the tyre you used isn't bald, hasn't even gone down to the wear indicators between the grooves!!!
I love this channel! U guys are crazy and everything u do is awesome 👌 👏 👍

Wondering how these Eskimo's got around in the winter...
27C and 75% humidity by me, and not even summer yet. Think that Vlad would melt even in AC....
Cab over truck's in the background!!
It would be more fun if you tried it in a Lada
You know, Vlad's pretty bald too, could this help him?
Tune in for the next episode!
Custom hand cut tyres are a thing.
