Hey guys! Chris Fix here! You ever run outside and you see you have a flat tire? Well today I'm going to show you how to fix it using a tire plug kit in four simple steps. Let's get started. First, you need to find the nail on the tire, so have somebody move up slowly as you look behind the tire to see if you can find the nail. When you find it, you could spray it with some soapy water and if it bubbles up you know you found your leak. Then use the pliers to pull the nail out or in this case a screw. Next, grab your tire plug kit and pull out the reamer, which is this tool and now you want to push the reamer into the hole that was created by the screw to smooth out that hole, Then grab one of the string plugs and slide it into the hole at the end of the reamer and you want it about halfway down the plug. and now you can push the plug into the hole until it's about three quarters of the way in and then you want to pull it out with a quick tug so that the plug remains in the hole. Then you can either leave the plug as is or you could trim the end so it's even with the tire. Now all you have to do is fill the tire up with air and the correct pressure is listed on the door jamb sticker right here. And in this case we need to pump it up to 32 psi and the last thing to do Is spray the plug with soapy water and if there's no bubbles, you know you did the repair correctly and you're good to go.
Chris you're the best, have a great day !
Which multitool are you using?
they work well too. I had 2 screws in the same tire just a week apart and used the same kit. has been 5 months now and no issues with the repair
I can’t wait for all these people mess up the tire plug and end up at my shop having to replace the tire…… 😂
This is only a temporary fix until you can get to a tire shop to get the hole properly repaired. It even stated on the packaging.
No glue on the plug ?
Very helpful information! Thanks for taking the time to share it with us! Sincere regards!

Why The Hell you drilling a screw in my car😅😂
what about slashed tires?
Perfect!
I work at a Walmart auto center. Walmart is strict on what holes we can and can’t repair. If we can’t repair it and don’t have a new tire to sell, I always recommend the owner get a plug kit and rubber cement. The plugs usually work they way they are, but the rubber cement helps.
I literally just had a flat tire but the hole was so tiny. I had to have the tire shop find it and plug it. And they couldn't even find it the first time around.
I feel like I should say "that's what he said" or something lol.
Done this once, it works very well
what if soapy water makes bubble after repair?
Might wanna tell people to not attempt a repair on the sidewall.
Not DOT approved for long term use. An actual long term plug requires removal of tire
Ima be fr with you I’m not like crazy strong but I’m okay. I can deadlift 400 pounds. And I’m telling you. If the hole that the nail made isn’t as big or bigger than the tool you use to sand the hole you will have a very VERY hard time getting it through. But once u do these things work great. Mines been on for two weeks and no leak.
This repair is illegal in the UK on any road tyres it's only allowed on plant machinery.
