There has been many topics on tires through the years on ER. I'm not sure there has been one on using a tire DIY tire plug repair kit.
A couple hours ago we were driving, and a notification came up I had low tire pressure. Then on my wife's phone and a low front drivers tire low pressure alert. When I got home, I found a screw in the tire and removed and used the repair kit to fix the tire. It took less than 2 minutes to do and it never was flat still had 26 pounds when I fixed it while tire was still mounted to hub.
I have used it a few times through the years and seem to work great. I have not had to take the tire in for repair after it was plugged. I've run them with the plug till I needed new tires.
Living in a rural small-town setting you don't have the pleasure of having someone available to fix a tire.
Anyone used one or have one available if you need to get out of a pinch.
