First flat ever I got was on the highway at night. Didn’t know what to do and when I called my dad he just said to “figure it out”. Today, a few years after I found your channel, when I got a tire pressure alert on my dash I didn’t sweat it. Jacked my car and patched the leak up myself all thanks to this video. Something so basic, but made me so proud that I “figured it out”. Seriously Chris, you made me a confident car owner - so thank you for all that you do!

Good instruction Kris! In 50 years of driving, I've very rarely had a tire slit, sidewall punctures or leaking at the rims. 98 percent of punctures are in the tire face caused by nails and screws. Using a tire plug kit with "gooey worms" is a great investment that will save you a fortune over time by doing the repair yourself. Convenience is also top on my list, because a repair can be completed in about 15 minutes. Note: You usually discover the flat in the morning, on your driveway after the vehicle has been siting over night. I never use the contact cement, since it doesn't seem to improve the repair and it makes a mess of your plug tools. After your cut off the worm nub with side cutters, light the remaining nub on fire and let it burn like a candle for a minute or so to level it to the tread and complete the seal.

AGREED. One of the reasons I love his videos-I can see, in detail, exactly what he’s doing.

Small tip in case the tyre is dead flat and the car is old: you might find that 2 bolts break loose easy, yet the other 2 are impossible to do. It means the wheel might have a slight tilt (milimiters) that holds the 2 bolts from loosening. In that case you need to push the car a few inches, bring the tough bolts in opposite location (e.g. if they were the bottom ones, now the wheel will turn and.they will come up), making it easier to break loose. I have changed a tyre more than 15 times and this happened to me recently. I litterally stepped ON the tool, weighing 245lbs and the bolt would still not break loose. After slightly spinning the wheel it was fine.

I work in a tire shop and I'll admit we hate dealing with tires that have fixaflat in them. Since it damages the tires internally and usually voids any kind of road hazard waranty. I highly recommend using Slime because it's TPMS safe and easier to clean out of a tire. Not to mention it doesn't damage a tire. That being said I appreciate the content you place in your videos. It's lengthy but detailed and spot on. Keep up the good work.

As Chris said, thank you (and Jimmy S) for the feedback. I've used Fix A Flat before but I had heard that you should warn tire shops about it before they serviced the tire. Wasn't sure why but I wasn't aware that it screwed up the TPMS or that it could make using a patch impossible. Unfortunately car manufacturers, when they don't provide you with a donut, give you a can of this crap and maybe an inflator. Just bought a Mustang GT and sure enough, nothing but a can of Fix A Flat and a portable inflator. Trunk is set up for a donut but since I didn't check (or apparently check the right box) this is all I got.

I have a story related to this tutorial. About 5 years ago I watched every video of Chrisfix and I really liked this one. So I bought a plug kit similar to that shown in video. It was laying in my trunc for a past 5 years and 2 days ago I finally got a flat tire to test it. I was in Spain on holidays and had to ride back home on Sunday and it was in the middle of nowhere, so no tire repair in the area, plus siesta. So I watched this video again and learned how to fix a tire. I draw about 1600 km and it is still there. Thank you Chris to give the advice for buying repair kit and perfect video instructions. It really helped and maybe saved my life❤

HI, Chris Fix! A Big-Name tire store in our town wanted to charge me $200 to replace a tire with a small hole in it, same size as the one in your video. They said it could not be repaired and HAD to be replaced. They didn't have it in stock and said they'd call around for it. Lucky for me it wasn't in stock as I might have gone for it. Saw your video. Did exactly what you said to do. Tire is repaired, by me, and back on the car tonight. And holding air. Thanks, Chris. Great video, as always, from you!

It’s a fathers job to teach these things to his kids. Thank you for doing what some fathers won’t. I was just watching your video to see if there was something I could learn. I had no idea rubber cement existed for tires. I knew it existed for other applications. But it makes sense. And also, for another example, I never knew most tire shops patch the inside of the tire for free. I learned something today. Thank you.

We use the plugs exactly how Chris uses them but we never went to get it patched and as long as the plug sealed properly the tire works just as good as it would otherwise.

I work at a tire shop so I have felt with endless scenarios similar to this, everything Chris states in this video is absolutely perfect and yes we really do hate bottles of Fix-A-Flat in tires lol. Except for one thing, those rope plugs are NOT SAFE, they are not made of the same compound as a professional tire plug and they actually slightly absorb water, this commonly leads to water getting into the belt package (the metal cords inside of a tire) and can create rust and corrosion which can then cause the tire to weaken and be more likely to explode. Your best bet is always to get it to a tire shop as soon as possible to have it professionally plugged and we also will put a patch on the inside of the tire to back the plug up and give it an air tight seal.

Finally A Video From ChrisFix. Who's Excited.

I have used those plug kits to fix tread area punctures for years on several different cars. Those tires have been used for light off-roading, towing/hauling, and on track going over 120 mph. I have never had a problem. I think one of my SUVs tires has about five of these things in there.

This happed to me yesterday I watched this video to help me thanks chris

Chris is always informative, easy to listen to, thorough and spot-on with great information. I've used some of his technical advise and techniques from brakes to flats. His videos are like having a big brother leading you every step of the way. Although, there are many car gurus on this site, he's one of the best. Lastly, he encourages safety first on all of his videos.

I drove on a plugged tire for 2 years, until it was time to replace all 4 of my tires. It never leaked. Those plug kits are a godsend.

This is the most helpful video I’ve ever watched! You covered everything a female would like to know. Thanks!! Will check out any other videos you have

I'm almost convinced he took air out of his tire while he was in the store just so he could make a video when he comes back. This man is a legend.

@@jcespinoza more likely he got a flat overnight at home, found the leak, put on the spare, got ready to film, went to the mall parking lot, put the flat tire back on and then started filming the beginning segment so not staged but set up clues - 1) the leak was pretty slow so it's not likely it went flat on one trip 2) the parking space was away from the shops and other cars making it easy to film there

your videos make me feel like life is so easy lol

That’s very thorough. I’ve been to tire and repair shops to have flat tire fix for years and all the do is plug the leak with that needle. No patching inside, no glue, no prepping the hole with the filing stick. But it works.

It's amazing how people don't know about the tire plugs. Relatively easy, super cheap, and incredibly effective. If you do it correctly, they're most definitely fine for the life of the tire.

You channel has been very helpful for the past few days, I have learn from you about mantaining my car. About tire plugs, those are great for fixing your tire, espacially if you are on a trip, but I think that you must take it to a tire shop as soon as possible to balance you wheel, since the tire plug add some weight and may unbalance your tire.

Chris is always perfect 💯

I've installed Tire plugs on my personal tires for over 20 years at the rate of about 3 plugs a year and have never had one single one fail for the remaining life of the tire tread. by the way I never used rubber cement ever and I only used the reamer if the hole was too tiny for the plug pusher which was almost never. plus I never had to Dismount my wheel in order to get to the puncture however for this video it was easier for chrisfix to display how to get this done with other safety disclaimers

Hi, In my country tire shops normally don't patch from inside unless the hole is too large, and also use plugs like you have shown. During many years I have not had an issue with this kind of fix. So, if done properly, most of the time it's permanent. Regards

@manthonychavez

6 жыл бұрын

The reamer is to make the hole uniform all around 360 degrees. That way, there are no voids/pockets that the plug has to "squeeze" itself into. The plug stays in better because the rips/tears in the tire are smaller/shorter and thus move/flex less.
