- In this video I'll show you how to fix a hole in your tire with a tire patch kit. As mentioned in the previous video I don't carry a spare tire because my tires are just too big. So I have to carry the necessary tools to repair and patch a tire from the inside out. Follow along as I show you how it's done!

This is why I cleaned before buffing, as per Rubber Manufacturers Association and Michelin Tire: "Step 3 PREPARE INNER LINER SURFACE
Clean the area around the puncture thoroughly with an appropriate (pre-buff) inner liner cleaner. Use a clean cloth
and/or scraper, according to repair material manufacturer’s recommendations. Consult your local repair materials
supplier for an appropriate cleaner3. This step serves to remove dirt and mold lubricants that can reduce repair unit
adhesion and contaminate buffing tools."
BleepinJeep if you push the far side bead down. It comes off a lot faster. You will see this different groove in the rim. Great videos also goes the same for reinstall

Probably the best repair video in existence. No BS, no droning on and burning up time with jaw flapping, just the info we came here for. Thank you!
Cornelius B.: No Jaw Flapping, (!?), I am Depressed.
Just cheek clapping and flapping.
Two tips from someone who does this daily. #1 remove the valve core before seating the bead. It allows more air into the tire at a time,thus making it easier. #2 mark the location of the valve stem before removing the tire. When you reinstall the tire make sure to line your mark back up with the valve stem before seating the bead. This most of the time will keep you from having to have the wheel balanced. Other than that great video!
I'd like to know who carries an air compressor and air tools out on the trails...? If you carry an air compressor off-roading you are my hero :D
If you put a boot in, it probably needs rebalancing anyway. But you are still correct. That is the right way to do it.
@@concretesailors --I carry a Small DC Compressor in All my Vehicles, if I have a Flat, I just air it up and hopefully get it to a station, if not, i just keep on airing until i get to my destination, to Old to be changing flats on side of busy roads...
@@randybeard6040 - I used to go off roading into the desert in ME each weekend. Each 4x4 used to have a compressor, folding shovel, strong and long towing belt, jump start cables etc
@@Achisachis73 Bike Pump works too.
I have all the stuff you mentioned just recommend me what knife shuld i use ?

If you find yourself doing this too often, get a new girlfriend.
If she's doing that while she's your girlfriend, it's guaranteed she'll keep doing it when she's your ex.
@@russlehman2070 facts! But at least then you can get a restraining order! 👍😆
🤣🤣🤣
Or a new wife?
Get her AAA 😄😄
@@darrelldaniels9436 he means if your gf keeps slashing your tires
I was 200 miles from home and ran something over that put a similar gash in my trailer tire. I stopped at the first place I saw, a tire chain store, to see if they would either sell me a tube or patch it so I could get home. Not only wouldn't they touch the tire, they wouldn't touch any tire on a trailer. It was a cut off pickup trailer with a 31-10.50x15 tire. Oddly enough, the piece of metal in the tire was sort of still plugging the hole a bit so I pumped the tire up to about 20 psi over max pressure and continued on till I found a drug store, they had a cheap plug kit so I bought three of them. After shoving about 16 cheap tire plugs in the hole and leaving the chunk of metal in place as well, I was able to slow the leak enough to where I made it home after again over inflating the tire to about 60 psi. It was down to about 20 psi when i got home and flat the next morning but it got me home. The next day I pulled the tire, patched the thing and stuck a tube in it. Its still on there 4 years later. I now carry a huge box of rope plugs, several patches, a bottle of glue, and two stainless steel plug tools in the tool box of the truck, and I installed an air tank underneath outboard of the frame that can hold roughly 40 gallons of 200 psi air just in case. I put an air fitting inside the fuel door. (The tank was an old propane tank I took out of a junk RV. I used the tank, and its mounting brackets. It fit nearly perfectly up under the right side of the of the bed just ahead of the rear wheel. I also carry a small 12v compressor but would go to the air in the tank first for speed of repair.
holy cow! I totally forgot carrying an tube as an old school fix. :facenapalm:
when removing or replacing tire onto rim, make sure the bead of tire tha is inside the rim drops into the "well" of the rim. its the low spot of rim. it makes it much easier to get the tire on that last few inches. i hope im making sence
The forbidden sidewall patch. I’ve rolled on worse. Great vid.
Great video, But just an FYI, tire shops are not putting the liquid rubber around the edge of the patch to reseal around the edge of it, they are putting liquid rubber everywhere they ground the enter sealant "sheen" as you called it off. The "sheen" you ground off is what seals the tire to keep air from seeping out through the bare rubber.
Some chick who didn't even know me slashed 🔪 mine I used super glue it lasted the life of the tire..
What brand glue
what the fuck how😂 send me the link to that glue
nah
Two good things happen from this 1st is the hole in the tire gets patched , 2nd I get a good workout. The video is great, Thank You. Knowledge is power.
You had me at "Paula Deen just made a mess of this tire."
All of the Discount Tire guys are cringing right now. I feel
Its Kiba994 I work there and J E S U S he tore that tire up. He grinded that waaaaay to much.
I work there, he way over did it, but in a pinch it’ll get you a mile or 2
Lol true..
Bro for real
I’m just shouting no good in my head.
In side wall and it’s way to long
Used to work at a tire shop pretty much everything legally stated is correct, but as he once stated again that is absolutely the best patch job you could do especially out on a trail because in all honestly that's EXACTLY what they would do at the shop. Legally they can't patch it but for emergency purposes this is as legit and professional as it could get. Being that employees can do their own work, I've actually done patches to my own tires on sidewalls not this big of course but actually had them last the 2 remaining years of the tire without problems. And DEFINITELY don't run low pressure in a patched tire as stated the tire will flex to much and eventually slowly peal the patch off. Good video, for the idiot's stating don't do this if your 20 miles back on an abandoned trail with a tire issue, this is the best And safest fix you could possibly do other than changing the freaking tire.
Jake Riley i
I've put plugs in my sidewall
All2skitzd I tore two tires on sledge hammer, has to patch a sidewalk by shoving 6 or more safety seal horsehair plugs to get me off the trail.
@Cimarron Peacekeeper
I had a sidewall spiked, put in 2-3 "Safety Seal" plugs in it held up for over 2 years as a spare. It sucks when you buy tires and they discontinue them and that happens. In fact I just had to plug one 2 days ago, now just a spare.
When I was a youngster back in the 40's and living in farming country, we used to patch worn tires so much that the patches showed through to the outside. ;-) Of course, in those days, wheels had inner tubes and those were hot patched.
That is the worst buff job I’ve ever seen.
That is a bias patch on a radial tire.
Everything was done completely amateurishly.
Poor quality and no real knowledge that is the worst patch job I’ve seen in a long time.
man so many people decided not to hear, that off road comment, liability comment, some people confused on balance lol. suddenly everyone's an expert. it holds air guys that was the goal, it only has to be vuagely round at that point it its never going to see more then 12mph if you wanna carry 3spares go ahead. if you have no dedicated off road vehicle fine. people even claiming retreads and vulcanized rubber don't exist. very sad..... only think I have to add it that went on and off a lot easier then most anything I've got to work on with a 50s tire machine. it can be so much more trouble then that particular tire, stiff sidewalls are a pain, but wouldn't wanna live without em
Saya 1 lol I am an expert. Certified and all. And for a trail fix, id say go for it. Matt did say it's just to get you off the trail and I second that. Get it replaced so you can safely run low psi in the future. There's nothing fun about blowing the tire and bending a rim on a rock when there is no air to dampen the blow
Saya 1
Good job attempting it yourself but... That's a radial tire. So you need a radial patch. You put in a bias-ply patch. this will fail. The radial patch has radial Plies built into it so it can work with the tire. A bias ply tire Has Criss Cross Plies in the sidewall. that's the reason for the criss cross patch. Also you put ( after peeling the backing off the patch) your dirty fingers all over the back of the patch. You have to hold the patch with the backing still on it or peel one half put it back and peel the other half Look up A&B compound. This is used to fill the slice. Rubber cement will never seal a slice. All I can say for your mounting the second bead of the tire is a monkey banging a football. You put this on UA-cam for everybody to see as well. if that Tire fails... And somebody is injured... Expect to be visited. A good retread shop will fix that tire for you. But a tire repair and replace facility will tell you it is junk.
+jon rheaume if it fails at under 8mph as dramatically as you suggest then there shouldtve been someone under the tire once it failed. I think your missing the off road statements he made, if anyone tries this on road use or above "off road speeds" he is free from any liability concerns. I believe he said he doesn't particularly recommend it but is showing us how, if I remember that rightly then he's even more covered for liability. if you read the description for any/every video he makes, he's again covered for liability. so unless somebody's requesting his presence as an outside expert in jeep related stuff in a court he ain't gonna be getting any calls. and remember his credential are for a photographer he is a self made business the chances any want his in court as an expert would probably be looking at factory trained techs. lol
+sisco lol alright do what ya like. but for under 10mph and maybe 20psi I'll risk a leaky tire and "my life" in case it hisses or whatever ya think its liable to do. I haven't a clue how a slow leak could kill me, but I'll just keep an eye out. watch your ankles for snakes on the trail walking home and never repair anything ever again if you want to worry about minimal risks. some risks do need to be calculated
Growing up, in 70's 80's we booted and patched everything. I have seen huge boots put in tires, bigger than this one. Great video!
You put a good boot in it you can roll for a while
That's because in the 70's and into the 80's tires were bias ply, meaning there were no separate structures located within the tire's carcass, just the overlapping belts. Passenger car and light truck tires are now radial construction. When he says "liability purposes only" what that actually means is the tire is no longer roadworthy. He stuck that knife into the shoulder of that radial tire, meaning he cut the zipper. When tires explode on the highway, or when a truck loses a tire and sends shrapnel at passerby, that's frequently a zipper failure.
Boots how, what do you mean?
@@AtlasJotun No, sorry, bias tires were already pretty rare in the early 70's. Just like today, you could and can buy them, but few people do except for agricultural use.
@@allenwatkins4972 Wow, rare in the early 70's. Okay, I guess we're just ignoring the fact that all of the U.S. Big Three automakers were still equipping their cars with such tires, until the Japanese and Euro radial tires began eating up enough of the market that they were finally forced to catch up. But I'm sure they were rare, depending on how much you're massaging your definition of rare... And no it's not "just like today" since it wasn't illegal to run bias-ply on the road back then, whereas in many jurisdictions today, it is.
TIP: Ask any tireman from Mexico. I've never brought a tire to local llantos barratos tire shop that they couldn't fix! BUT when you go to "Discount tire" the "Tire-man"(if you want to call him that) has to run off to a "Safe Space" to recover from the horrible scene that you exposed him to after showing him your flat with a gash in it.
Wut?
Huh? Ask tire any shop fix the huh tire while tire dry say hole Some body say ho...... Hooooooooo. U don't sense make. Mexico. Tire guy. Huh. Eat huh what
Discount Tire is indeed worthless. I have tried to get tires rotated there. "Oh we can't rotate those they are too worn. But we can sell you a new set right over here!" Got that B.S. twice and never went back. I'd just take it to a different shop and they'd rotate w/o a problem. And the tires were fine with enough tread for another 40K miles.
With corporate stores like discount and les schwab the junior employees and customers are victims of the game of telephone. First the regional corporate office informs the branch managers of policy change, then the managers have to communicate those policies to senior and junior staff. But they choose to do it in two different ways. First the senior staff usually gets the "straight from the horses mouth" version and second, the junior staff is told a conservative version. This is because junior staff are prone to mistakes so in place of experience they are taught to be more cautious than they should be to keep the store from accruing lawsuits. Always talk to a manager because they are guaranteed to have at least five to ten years of experience and have a firm grasp on policy and technique. Not to mention, if anyone is going to choose to break the rules and do it properly, it will be a store manager.
In the most likely situation, your tires were badly weathered and cracked, and one of their policies is a very generic "if the components appear to be in a state of disrepair, employees aren't allowed to touch the vehicle" because of the corporation's stance on a guarantee of quality. If the store can't guarantee that their work will last then the work will not be done. And in this case of free labor, if the tires WERE deemed unsafe after a junior staffer removed the wheels, a manager doing his job correctly would be forced to comp the customer a tire for every wheel taken off ONLY so that the store could guarantee the work was done right. I hope this helps understanding why corporate and private tires shops operate so differently.
@@tactical-bucket Gees, tires are such a brutal biz. Town Fair Tire is a biggie up here in New England b/c they give every car a free shitty 2-wheel wheel alignment that will make your car wander like crazy on the highway. From the moment you walk in they try to sway you to what they want you to buy, then they try to trick you by saying "do you want the 4 wheel alignment" (which they say under their breathe and charge a lot for), then when you question the higher bill, they say you asked for the 4 wheel alignment and they act mad when you say you wanted the free alignment. They make it such an imposition that they need to find a manager to correct. Even so, they never seem to zero-out the alignment (front or back) when you do pay for the 4-wheel alignment AND they nickle and dime you for the disposal, valves and added bs fees. They are criminals... plain and simple. I pity any unsuspecting person just walking in there who knows none of this, and of course there's no useful governmental recourse for this.
Hahaha "Now Paula Dean just made a mess of this tire". That's why we keep coming back to watch you Matt.
I hope I never have to use this on the trail but this info is great.
I'd like to know who carries an air compressor and air tools out on the trails...? If you carry an air compressor off-roading you are my hero :D
People clearly lost the goal of this video, goal is to show how to make a repair while out in the trail or w.e I would much rather demonstrate this repair on a tire that will get scrapped afterward rather than buying a new tire slicing it and showing the same procedure. It's a last resort temp fix.
Wow!!!... great 👍, but it’s not an easy task especially with huge size of tires.
Careful around the patch... Jumps on tire...
Now set the bead... Kicks the tire...
...are you sure you don't work at my local tire shop??
Nice job. A very hard thing to do, changing a tyre by hand. I weigh in at about 220lb. I recon you may be about half that. I grunt and groan when I change a tyre. So mate you just went to the top of my chrissy card list. Loved ya vid.
wicked VID good work just as good as new get ya home no prob! and now i KNOW why i been keeping all those nail pullers for ha they are going in the JEEP!
This guy doesn't carry a spare tire, but he does carry a bunch of crowbars, soap, a buffing tool, an air compressor and everything else he needs for a tire repair. Well done!
It just hurt me to see you do that to that Nice tire 😂👍
and what did we learn from this today.... taking your tires to get mounted by a machine is worth the 12$ they charge you, no matter how cheap you are. haha
i'd honestly make me an old manual one if my grandpa didn't already have one lol, my dad has an air operated one tho
T Sisco love it
haha yep, it's a bitch by hand. But you'd be doing it by hand on the side of the trail so it's good that he showed it.
This is more of what you can do if your stranded out on the trail and your spare is also flat from a hard day wheeling..
you can get a manual tire changer for $50 for shop use, quite easy to use (15mn per tire at the most) and saves you having to drive to the tire shop. i havent paid anyone to mount or balance my tires in years.
Good video. Remember to mark the valve stem on the tire for balance, couldn’t hurt. Also lube the inside lip of wheel, and inside tire bead to help remove and install. Lastly, just carry a spare inner tube. Tube for Super Swampers run about $40.
wow i am impressed that's a pretty tough job to do on your own especially for a small dude like yourself..... no pun intended lol
nick diaz fr where tf is the pun in that
"of course your not gonna have that on the trail" he says at 10:48 .... right after busting out a die grinder and wheel, patches of all assortments, 3 pry bars, a breaker bar, dawn dish soap, a metal brush, starting fluid, and a metal roller... lmfao
Screw that on the trail, I'm carrying a spare.
This is for when your on day 3 of a 5 day trip, and you already used your spare, then you have no choice but to repair or abandon.
I carry a few tubes. Work to get you off the trail
Well, Sometimes you get 2 flats
This is the spare
I would carry a Hunter tire machine out on the trail. Much easier to change a tire
You make this look so easy! Great work!
Yep that is a moerse job........ skill right there.
Sponsor by bro’s around the the world.
Hated by ex girlfriend and ex girlfriend’s boyfriend.
I once plugged an ATV tire with a piece of my jeans and caulk
I consistently plug holes with my caulk and bulbs.
Carson Charbonneau because it’s all we had at the time
Carson Charbonneau that’s where the caulk comes in.
Unzip jeans, pull out caulk, spit, plug.
😉👌
Should have know it would go there, yes boys it’s all about the caulk.. caulk caulk caulk
In this video I'll show you how to fix a hole in your tire with a tire patch kit. As mentioned in the previous video I don't carry a spare tire because my tires are just too big. So I have to carry the air compressor to grind the inside of the tire, dish soap, a alot more tools...
Shoulda marked the sidewall and wheel so you can put the tire in the same place. Then it would still be balanced correctly.
MusTang Nick who has balanced tyres going offroad ? Offroad tyres don't need it !
its still best practice as you may not ad/subtract too much material and in a lot places people use those tyres on road as their daily
I try to do the same, mark the tire, etc. but....that patch changes the balance of the tire.
Jack ass
It doesn't matter, that patch is going to throw off the balance anyways.
i did that out in the woods one time had no choice. everyone said it will never hold. ended up running that tire 2 more years. but it was just a mud truck but did drive it on the street once in a while. but i don't think anyone will have a air pencil grinder in the woods.
Make your life easier buy OTC grip tire spoons instead of those pry bars. Plus more lube the better, lube is cheap. Good Video!!
Proper spoons definitely make this a lot easier.
Just want to point out not all lube is cheap. Shit cost me 35 bucks for a medium bottle at the adult book store
I don’t have a die grinder on the trail
I had a hole like that in some 35s the tire guy melted it a little added some ground up rubber patched it and it lasted tell I sold the truck and it was my dd
You showed us how to fix a slash and how girls can make a slash...
Thanks... I guess 😅
I like to see more of your videos on your channel ... Dont get me wrong I like most of the other guys , but Your videos are the reason I still subscribe to this channel ....
Down vote to all the wimps that just want new tires and spares. WIMPS!
I like the video and I like that Patron people get it first ,,,Screw UA-cam
Very well done..very informative.
Thanks for sharing.
Bleeping jeep are you a AVE fan? Safety squint is one of his little sayings
I've been known to watch an AVE video now and again
BleepinJeep Well keep your winch in a vice and keep on jeeping !
I was gonna make a comment about this. Do a teardown of different winches if funds support it?
"Focus you fuck!" Lol AvE for life haha
To be fair though you had your safety mcglarses on, extra protection over the standard safety squints! 😁
This is the RIGHT way to repair a tube less tire. I am surprised how many negative comments you got. I have used the exact same methods you describe here for years. With great success. Those tube less tire plugs/strings are crap! Only temporary at best. Great video. Thanks for posting. 👍
agreed, excellent how to video old tire or not!
As this is the "right way" you shouldn't repair a tire that has a picture in the sidewall because it can be VERY unsafe that's exactly why shops will not repair them because it's to unsafe this should ONLY be done if you are in the middle of nowhere and have no other choice
I to have been changing tires and patching them the same way for many years too but disagree with you saying that the plug/strings being useless, I’ve used them for a long time and never had anyone come back with a complaint, maybe your doing it wrong.
I, too, have been using the strings for years. I had a large hole ( 16d nail went in head first) and had to put in 3 strings to plug it. Kept it on as an experiment and went another 3K miles before I got a new set( I needed tires before the flat happened). Anyway, I didn't lose any air, so I called it a successful experiment.
I've used them with great results for things like nails and then whore out the tires, One of the first times I did it, had a slow leak and had to redo it. I hadn't reamed it good enough, thinking it,Id be better with less rubber removed. If you can pull the nail, screw, etc. out from the outside, may only need jackup and leave the fire on the vehicle. Always try to keep kit and goo string in the trunk always. Make sure to double bag in a good zip lock bags, as if dirty/dusty they might fail to seal.
I really enjoy all your videos. Thanks, and excellent job! 👌
Forgot to mark tire at valve stem so it can be returned to original balance.
This video scared the CRAP out of me! Though I had a dead pixel on my laptop screen (little orange dot on the lower right hand side).
I had to make a similar off road repair went I cracked the lip of my aluminum rim. My good buddy JB was there to the rescue though! I hear it's still holding up to this day. Sometimes you gotta get creative with trail repairs so it's always nice to see what you'll be in for.
For a emergency repair it will work
You are correct . I have done it and it does work!
As an old jeeper, I appreciate you taking the time to show this. Alost of people will learn from it and maybe use it someday. Big thumbs up.
FUN FACT! : If you sniff the rubber cement long enough it will patch the tire itself and you probably will get home safer than this patch.
those shoes are not trail legal!
If you have tools and some muscle, a good saving.
Off-road use is more abusive than highway..just slower..
Wear gloves..
Tough but skinny..like me
U 4got the either starting fluid to seat the bead lol.
Not needed, although that is a trick used by some on very large tires, like for farm tractors or semi-tractors.
A very well executed tutorial. Easy to follow and understand coupled with your laid back soothing personality voice. I have done many sidewall repairs, and your presentation is the best of them all . All the best to you from us students in the you tube classroom. Carry on mentor.
I had a gash in my tire before. 7 plugs later, it held air and lasted the rest of the life of the tire.
Paul dean knife! I am butt hurt and offended because it's 2017
Haha
To stab a black tire with that knife? Oh my! Its racist!
You've convinced me to never do it myself. Get a spare, change it out. Go to shop, get new one.
I always carry a tire tube I buy at my local tire shop . You simply just throw it in and fill it up . I think that may be an easier idea for you to try .thanks for always posting such helpful videos . Your my go to Jeep guy
A split the size he made with the knife in a sidewall will pinch a tube almost as soon as the tyre rotates, and blow the tube. If you are going to use a tube the hole still needs to be patched to protect the tube from damage.
putting back the tire to the rim get you some sweat! lol, you should use that RACING JACK to pinned down to the floor lol! overall good class !!
i remember a day when you could re-grove and patch side walls.think it was up too 1/4 inch stuff rubber in there and use a special c type heated clamp melt the rubber in then patch the inside.
That was with biased tires. Radial tires have much thinner sidewalls. It gives you a smoother ride. Not supposed to patch sidewalls on radials. Those vulcanizing patches you mentioned aren't made anymore. Something to do with hazardous materials. They are the best patches ever.
When your remounting the tire, use a pair of vise grips on the rim. It'll keep the bead from popping back over the rim as you work it around
And if you've got alloy rims...take it to a shop
Good one
Or use rubber plated c-clamps. That’s what I use.
@@kirkc9643 yup there's plenty of shops out on the trail
For a true Paula Dean repair use butter for lube.
Thank you for your demo, I know many people out there appreciate your time and energy! Nice job
Dang you sacrificed your good spare to demonstrate how you'd repair your tire on the road. Thanks for putting this up.
Glad you clarified that this is only an emergency fix
Can I use the bias patch on radial?
A lot of work it looks like. I carry lots of plugs. Plug it up with many plugs and lots of rubber cement
I HATE having to change or repair dirty tyres so much i always cut and hurt my hands and get filthy
and i always swear ! and i really get the major hump.
i hate it even more than airport security and passport control
but not as much as filling out official forms or anything official
but tyre punctures are a right royal pain
Got his "safety squints" on 🤣
You did one thing wrong you always end at the valve stem. If you have a newer vehicle 2007 and newer you will have a tpms sensor attached to the valve stem. To keep from damaging it you start removal at the valve and end at the valve when you re-install the tire.
Some are on the stem, some are on the opposite side of the wheel, some guess based on the abs
Plugged a sidewall on my k1500, lasted for over 4 years, and even was good for highway speeds 80+
Chris Cooney have to agree, iv done that to, iv also put 5,000 miles on my dry Rotted 10 year old spare donut at highway speeds
My buddy spoons tires by his self everyday he doesn't have any problems
Done similar many times. I carry bailing wire, plugs, patches and, my favorite, plug patches. In my opinion the plug patches are the greatest thing invented for standard punctures. I've had to sew plugs into large gashes with bailing wire and was able to get the 20 miles back. Maybe you could do a video on the fine art of using bailing wire plugs and patches on one large gash for your next video
I don't care what they said. They don't have videos about the subject. If the tire hold the plug. It's all good. I've never had a tire to blow out from me plugging it.
Mr. discount tire doesn't know about the lost art of vulcanizing , it can be fixed correctly . they grind the rubber down melt new rubber into the tire and usually add a semi grade patch that also gets heat molded into place . I have had this done several times . this method has been around before discount tire was even buying Chinese shipping containers . if you haven't heard of this then don't bother saying anything . if your looking for the type of service try asking some retread plants or tire companies that have been around for more then 10 years
SSC Everything Cummins lol no
SSC Everything Cummins wrong
Haha I work at America's Tire and yes I've heard of vulcanizing. And there is a reason why we don't do it anymore. You can't just simply apply new rubber to a tire. Tires aren't made of just rubber. The original rubber is what makes up the basic structure of the tire along with the belt but this is about sidewalk repairs. Cars are heavier than they used to be and are able to take corners faster than they used to, so vulcanizing isn't a good method of repair a car that is driven on the streets because the tire does not retain its original structure and you can risk a serious blowout and the tire shredding apart right off the wheel. It's ok for slow moving vehicles such as crawlers and heavy equipment such as construction vehicles with big tires with super thick rubber compounds. I've seen them vulcanize dump truck tires before. But on a tire for a street car, no bueno. Like I said, there's a reason why vulcanizing isn't done on normal car tires anymore, it's just a very outdated method that is just too risky and not worth it, especially in a country where people are more than happy to sue you for every last penny.
Liam S same
its like you don't know the difference between vulcanizing say, a semi or farm tire and a regular passenger/offride tire. It all comes done to compounds and it just flat out doesn't work with new ones. Thats why theres a difference between say, heat cycling a racing compound tire and heat cycling a passenger tire too, the compounds do different things for different tires and it isn't some catch all solution. This guy ruined this tire, simple as that.
i guess if you have a set of rims you dont care about thats one way to remove it lol
"don't light a cigarette" lol that just killed me
What if I want to tho
Great video. When someone in our group or myself gets a sidewall puncture on the trail I just plug them. I had to use 4 plugs once because of the size of the hole in a buddy’s sidewall. Their are times changing a tire on a trail is not safe or will take too much time.
i just put TWO in a hole ... but not sure if i should "trust" this or just get a new tire now ... ATV ... :(
Christopher Richardson if you’re on a trail you have two choices, one change the tire or two plug it. I average 17,000 miles a year off roading.
Aww i dont have 3 crowbars out on the trail with me.
Will my tire irons work?
Yea they will, and with the right ones your even taking the rim off the truck.
Pro tip. Don't use dish soap on alloy wheels it will corrode the bead seats and the rim will leak.
Is bath soap OK? What else is good?
Yeah sure - I always carry 3 flat crowbars, just incase.
100+ psi air supply is also super handy for field repairs...
I've been to numerous
Tire schools throughout
my 40+ years in the Automotive industry
Bandag, Pirelli , Yokohama
Etc.
YOU CAN REPAIR. a puncture in a SIDEWALL .
And they claim that its SAFE to do this .
IF DONE CORRECTLY !
Although , I would only drive on it at a safe speed
and carefully to get home or to a Tire shop .
Especially on a High Performance vehicle.
Thanks for sharing !
True dat , never repair side wall or even a nail to close on side wall within 1 or 2 inchs on thread risk if tire risk of tire blowing .
A trick I use when doing it alone is to use a couple large vise grips to hold the bead so I don’t have to hold two crow bars and work with the third.
Valve stem should be first off and last on so you don't shear it off, but good video
Looks to me like you just ruined a tire
Bryce Boland you could have just made 1 comment man lol... we get it, you don't like the idea of patching your own tire
Good thing that's a old tire that was never going to be used anyways.
Except he said it has been on that rim for 10 years, so no ;-)
I work at a tyre shop and the information given in this video is 100% correct -
(view a few "tiptop rema" video's if you need confirmation of this )
The tire isn't ruined. Just down the street where I live old man Gus has a suspension shop and he's been fixing tires similar to this since 1957. Gus uses fire to vulcanize the patch to the tire. He used to patch up inner-tubes the same way long before tubeless tires came along. His buddy used to recap tires and fixed flats the same way.
Really awesome video I've used 2x4 to remove the bead but the hi lift Jack is awesome.
Excellent video. The only thing that i would add to this 'trail fix' is perhaps seating the bead with starting fluid. We off-roaders like to run wide tires and they don't always want to seat with just an air chuck. I know it's not always recommended but neither is hammering a butcher knife into a sidewall. Lol
if you attempt this don't forget that it's a mix of air and flammable that does the trick. Spraying half a can of ether in there won't work any better (probably worse) then just one quick spray around the rim. If it fails to seat the bead you need to get new air into the tire before trying again (the old air no longer has much oxygen in it, as you consumed it with the last burn)
If your using something that doesn't evaporate super fast you need to give it time. I've done it with gasoline before but it takes a few minutes for it to evaporate
@@animefreak5757 , even easier is to carry a small 3 litre Gaither bead booster, a lot safer, and will do the job easier than messing with flammable sources, plus a bead booster doesnt burn out your costly tyre!
If you have another vehicle with you, a good way to break the bead is to have the other vehicle drive over the edge of the tire. (My dad said that is the way they did it in the army with the big trucks)
Dang! This is a great tutorial, thanks. Just came back from the tire shop where they scratched their heads at my 34" mudder with a tiny puncture.
Like everything else with wheelin' I just gotta do it myself 🤔
How he just got done patching up that tire he when he aired up the tire he did that very unsafe you do not stand up the tire while you're airing up or Reef lighting the tire crazy all it takes is for that trade is to peel off and slap and hit you an injured you so do not have the tire in a upright position lay the whole tire completely flat on the ground and stand on top of the The Rim in air up your tire that way it's more safer and less of a chance you getting injured how I know this is I learned by experience and watching other people air up tires don't ever play tired like he did very unsafe you can end up losing an arm or more of a catastrophic more of an injury that could be life threatening
Rubber SEEment
And if anything this video should show you why you SHOULD carry a spare lol
Mike Warman, no shit Sherlock. This would be used if you’ve already used the spare.
He is not saying SEEment, he is saying Seament! lol.
Cool man! I knew this could be done! Backed into a piece of steel roofing (thanks to my landlady's negligence) and got a 1/4" stab wound in the sidewall of a near new tire on my Bronco. My mechanic said it cant be fixed even with a tube like the old days, but I disagreed. So I decided I would patch it! Not sure if Im going to try it with being old and a bad back but I might ! You made it look pretty ez so I know it can be done Thanks!
The shoes gotta go bro...
proper safety attire at all times..
5:28 Why do you have to clean what you grind off 10 minutes later ? 5:50 Is this step really necessary ? 6:52 is all you need to do.
