Ive always used regular screws in an emergency. But honestly for a nail type puncture a sheet metal screw even works long term. Add a little rubber cement and its good to go.
"IF" it would've occurred to me at the time, I would've grabbed my bit kit and cordless drill. 30 seconds later the repair would be done.(But I probably wouldn't have thought about it until it was done, just like you did it!)🙃
These last, on average, about 8 days then they pop out or start to leak. I’ll do an updated video soon. They are a temporary fix to get you to a tire shop where the tire can be permanently patched.
These last about 8 days. They are not a permanent fix. It’s a temporary fix that will hold until you can get the tire to a tire shop to get it patched or replaced.
I like the plugs better. the 'glue' is usually a vulcanization product. the plug is fibers and rubber. so when you plug, the plug becomes part of the tire. To me - that sounds better.
These are a really bad idea! For a screw in the tyre, like that, you'd be better off leaving the screw there, until you can get if fixed. Also, that tyre should be put on the back, so it's not used for steering, if/when it bursts. Even better is to use your spare tyre. Either way, a plastic screw is only a very temporary solution. You'll have to drive slowly and ensure the tyres don't heat up too much. The centrifugal force of the spinning tyre will increase the air pressure against the hole in the tyre. The rubber will heat up at a different rate to the screw, because it's made from different compounds and it's in direct contact with the road.
They are a temporary fix. A 3-minute fix instead of having to change a tire on the side of the road. I’ll use them as a temporary fix until I can get to a tire shop. No, it’s not a long term solution.
Letting trolls thrive on youtube. The wear-bars aren't showing so the tread has life left. If you insist on new tires, write a check every month. Same for your new car, it is "used" after one month. Insisting on new everything leads to excessive waste.
a woman can do the rubber screwing but not so much the plug - latter takes brute force. Tell her indoors she can now mend her own punctures in the sidewalk
That tire doesn't need a plug, it needs to be replaced! :-) That tire is like a hockey puck. Good demo though.
Yes I know. New tires coming soon
@@MikesWorld1 Good deal! Just want Mrs. Mike's World to be safe!
I used them in my sxs ,and they work great for off-road quick fix. Never had one leak.

I would add tire rubber cement to the threads for good measure.
Idiotic idea, for several reasons

Thanks for the review , it was very helpful 👍🏼
I still like the strips in warm weather, but these would be nice to have for colder weather.
They are just a temporary solution until it can be permanently fixed. The one I demonstrated held for about a week.
The plastic screws have a coating that is a sealer.
How did it hold up after time ?
These are a quick temporary fix until you can get to a shop. They have lasted around 8 days when I’ve used them.
i haven't plugged a tire before. it looks like an easy fix. Motorcycle, just need to get to a tire dealer. Thanx.
Would like to see how long this rubber screw will last before leaking air.
This one lasted 8 days.
@@MikesWorld1 Did it start leaking air on the 8th day?
I used one that lasted 7 months, after that I changed the tyre as it was worn out. You can get them in two sizes.
@@MikesWorld1
8 days?🤣
The OG will last until
The end of time...
so what conclusion after 2 month, it still good or leak ?

How has the tire held up?

Rubber screes are The best instead of using a plug and ceiment glue would be dry and hard

Plugs will hold much longer than the screws. The screws are a temporary fix.
The tyre screw tyre plug are good for women to use when they they're got a flat tyre
They already dialed roadside mate
You’re not using the right pair of pliers
@@daveplumb6246 dave what pliers are best .thx

@@MikesWorld1 good one
@@MikesWorld1the time it took you to pull the screw out, and put another one in I would’ve already had the spare on the vehicle
Letting your wife drive around on bald ass tires.... nice.
She has new tires. I knew there was a screw in that tire and wanted to make this video to demonstrate the rubber screws before replacing them.

Secondo me non ha mai riparato un pneumatico
How cheap are you. Buy new tires
Don't you know the difference between a quick repair and a permanent solution ?
Already put new ones on. Wanted to wait until I could shoot this video to demonstrate the screws.
I was about to say just use pliers lol and then he pulled out the channel locks
