This stuff works. in Tire Repair Tools

So my buddy and I went on a dune trip and he just got new tires on his truck two days before we left so we thought we were spot on! (He has a 2007 F350 Royal Ranch with this 6-stroke engine and a fresh rebuild he did himself) so we were 3 hours on our 4 hour drive, now this truck easily puts out about 550 ponies, we pull my included cargo trailers side by side so trailer and cargo weigh about 4500 pounds and we have an off road bike in the back of a truck. We were driving on a winding road and we came to a curve and there was a fallen tree on the road (we identified this with the speed limit and couldn't move the tree or cut it down because we didn't have a chainsaw to just drive over it, because if we didn't keep going, the car approaching the corner would surely smoke us out, and with a new trailer side by side and a truck that can blow the house off its foundations and still smoke (a brand-new 6.7 line) decide us to drive through the tree, although that's not a problem, it's not that big. As soon as we went through the tree it sounded like we were pulling a branch because we heard a pssst. But the noise went away, but then the truck started pulling to the right, so I stuck my head out and told my mate/best friend/godfather to my kids that the front right tire was smoky. So we're driving down a winding road, he pulls us off the curb at the only spot we knew within 10 miles that would fit this nice truck and trailer, and now we run into a flat tire without a jack and on the road. unsafe part of windy highway. When we were planning the trip we just didn't have a jack, and yes I know how great it would be if we forgot the jack, but we could still jack it up because we were on such uneven ground, and the axle was so close to the ground So we puzzle that we forgot the jack and try to stop the cars, but in vain, they were able to stop, there was no place yet, and on top of that no maintenance. But I remember having this kit next to me. So when we found a 1" slit in the sidewall of his new tire we thought we were screwed but I pulled out this kit boxed up. 5 of those rubber cords vented the tire and we were out. These things held a truck and a 12,000+ pound turntable with 550 horses over 800 pounds per foot with torque on the wheels for about 30 miles before they popped out and I did the same thing again and drove another 20 miles to my destination . So to patch the sidewall of a 1-inch slotted tire on a 12,000-pound truck with a 6.0-liter engine with SCT wire on hot setting these suckers couldn't. Those things were tighter than my waist in my work pants and those buttons screamed! So if you're in doubt about spending $25 on this kit, just buy it and pack those holes tight and if you think another can fit in there, INSIDE! This is amazing stuff! Get a little air compressor!

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
