We included three individual tubes of tire glue. This way, you've got every size hole or wound covered with the right sized plug! So our kit includes 50 plugs in total, 25 of the fat ones and 25 of the thin ones. Why make a bigger hole in your tire if you don't have to? To solve this problem, we sourced brown plugs that were of a thinner design. Ever try to push one of those thick suckers through a brad hole size puncture in an 'E' load range tire? It is hard! You end up having to probe the hole more and more just to get the tire plug into it. But, most of the brown plugs on the market are big and thick. The brown plugs were also the strongest and did not tear in half when going through multiple steel belted tires. Which are best? Well, our testing revealed the brown type in our kit is the best for emergency repairs and wound closure. Some kits only have plugs and some are black, some brown, some are thick and furry and some are smooth like a pencil lead. Everyone loves tire plugs.People also call them strings or string inserts, the name is interchangeable.

This gives you the ability to help others on the trail with repairs, yet have the confidence that you've got enough product in your kit to work on your own tires if the need arises.Īfter three months of our own experiments, here are some of the reasons we designed our kit the way we did. You want a kit with stocked with multiple repairs.

Some make a meager attempt to include a patch or two. We challenge you to look at other kits on the market. Ease of use and quality products were our most important goals when designing this kit. It had to be able to handle high-pressure RV tires to high flotation off road tires. We wanted a kit that would work whether you were on an expedition or on a job site. We looked high and low for a hand cleaner wipe that actually got grime off your hands when you were done with a tire repair.

We can honestly say that this is the best portable puncture repair kit available, period! We spent months testing tire plugs. This kit is designed to work on any tire you encounter, from a quad to a semi and everything in between. We used my 12T bottle jack and 12' section of 4'x 4' wood and two tire chocks to do the job. There were no points for the HiLift to connect to (he didn't have one of those wheel things and nowhere on the bumpers or frame to safely connect to) and the stock jack was way too small. We found that the equipment he carried, a stock OEM jack and a new, shiny red HiLift could not be used to lift his truck. I know this sounds so obvious but I was out a few years ago with a small group of trucks and the one with the new lift got a flat tire. If modified, practice at home first to make sure you have the right gear to safely lift the vehicle. To repair the tire, you need to lift the vehicle.

Depending on the nature of the puncture and repair, the tire may also be downgraded speed-wise so slow-down after a field repair as Ducky's Dad stated above, it's a good idea to get the tire professionally repaired after the fact as this could re-rate your tire for full speed performance.
