It helps to put rubber cement on the reamer and the needle and plug to help lubricate and make them go in a lot easier. It will also vulcanize the plug and tire together for an even better seal.
Hey buddy. Good to see that someone else has some common sense. Rasps and plugs work great and save you lots of time and money. I carry them with me always. I keep a spray bottle of dish soap and water with a small drill bit and drill in place of the rasp. Saves you hands from the pounding.and doesn't damage the steel cords in the treads. 10 minutes and a flat tire is fixed. Use a rubber malet instead of your hands. When you get to be my age you'll appreciate it.
I have been driving vettes and vipers for years, they all have run flats. I always have a tire plug kit in the car. I have plugged run flat tires dozens of times and I have NEVER had an issue. All these cars are run fast and hard. The idea that you can not plug a run flat is ridiculous. You put plugs on the threads, and there is essentially no difference in the thread portion of a run flat tire compared to a regular radial tire. All the difference in a run flat tire is on the sidewall, which makes no difference when using a plug.
Nice work. Thanks! We just bought a new BMW and it's good to know I can plug any holes myself if need be.
Excellent demonstration of the run flat tire repair. thank you
Helpful video -- I'm about to try to plug a run-flat on my BMW. Having said that, that's the tread pattern of a Contintal DWS, and unless I missed something, they are not run-flat tires.
My late husband would often ream the hole, make it larger and shove the plug in there.....
Good to use a little bit of rubber adhesive over the plug before it goes in.
I also use a little rubber cement on them plugs did allot or tire plugs last 15 years never had a leak yet. If im at home I also use a drill rather than that pain in ass reamer first then the reamer to make it easier. Great job!!
In theory, the runflat tures are supposed to seal when punctured by an object.
Thanks for sharing. Really appreciated. 👌
Thanks Joe, great video from the UK.
Nice and very clear explanation how 2 do it! Greatings from Poland bro!
You are a good man. This video just saved me $500 on a new sport runflat on my grand cherokee. Sincere thanks brother.
I have done this many times, front AND rear tires, yep even on my BMW run flat. I took my BMW to a local mechanic and asked them to put a plug in a nail hole... he refused saying “you can’t plug run flats.”
Boss, well done !
awesome video, thank you for the effort
Thank you that was helpful
This is exactly how I plug it too but it can only be done on the front tires without taking the tire off the car. I have also plugged run flats with no problems as long as the puncture is on the tread.
Nice video. Just had the exact same problem
