I wondered why Conrad's took a full hour to "plug" my tire. I thought they'd just do a tire plug like we were taught to do back in the day, from the outside with a sticky plug. The guy showed me one of these and I got curious to see how they're applied. I had no idea it was this much work, but it looks like a thorough repair and was worth the money for expensive tires.
Oh my. No. We recommend following (current) industry guidelines. The tire comes off fully in order to properly prepare the surface for a proper repair. It's more work than most people realize. BUT it is a safe and proper repair that should last the lifetime of the tire when done right. We know ours will.
Excellent video, thanks a bunch!
Not a problem!
Great video. Now I see why the tire shop that fixed my tire did it wrong and it still leaks after the patch.
We're sorry that happened! We encourage you to ask for TECH product when you need your tire repaired.
How long is the wait before the repaired tire is able to be put back into service?
Compliments on your excellent training videos.
Wanted to ask if there is a guideline for when to use a plug/patch vs a flat patch only.
Is it just dependent on the size of the Injury? Thanks
A proper tire repair is done with either a one-piece repair (seen in this video) if the injury angle is less than 25 degrees per industry standards. Tech on-piece repairs can safely and properly repair up to 35 degres. Otherwise if it extends beyond that you will need to perform a two piece repair. You will have a separate stem and patch to complete the repair. There is no safe repair that is just a patch only. Not only does it go against industry guidelines but the hole in the tire hasn't been filled with a rubber stem to plug it. Water, debris and other things can get inside and loosen the patch; therefore rendering the "repair" as failed. There are different processes for the type of tire being repaired.
There are 3 different stem sizes available: 4, 6, and 9mm. Which carbide bit size (diameter in mm) do I use for each stem diameter?
Tech offers Uni-Seals Ultras in 3mm, 6mm, 8mm and 10mm sizes. The carbide cutters for each would be 269 (3mm), 270 (6mm), 271 (8mm) and 271/38 (10mm).
Great video, but how much to repair the tire compaired to buying a new tire.
Depends on the tire in question and your location. Tire repair ensures that you can extend your tire's life beyond the puncture. Typically you are sold tires in pairs; so when you weigh the cost of repairing a repairable tire vs purchasing two new tires it seems like a no brainer to get your tire repaired properly. Saving you money and time in the long run.
It was $23 at Conrad's here in Ohio, and took about an hour. I thought that was entirely reasonable. Not sure the cost for where you live.
hello what is the music used in this video !
Hello! Not sure; just generic music we can include in our videos.
Don’t think you’re links are working,
?
Just checked them.. they appear to be working.
Umm.. can you come help me! 😊❤
How can we help?
A can of fix-a-flat seems much easier.
That is not a safe or proper tire repair for highway applications while following industry guidelines. Our combo repair ensures the hole in the tire has been filled and is completely sealed to prevent contaminants from entering the tire and possibly cause a repair failure.
Not when your tires are $300+ each. Get them properly repaired and you preserve your warranty in most cases.
I've taken off a lot of flat tires with Fix-A-Flat in them and repaired them properly with a "patch-plug" we call it. Seems like a waste of money to me.
