These patches work well. There are videos online to help with the process. I use them to repair the tires on my lawn equipment. Have not tried to use on a vehicle tire yet. They have held up well and no leaks from the patches.

I had two punctures that were close together. One was caused by a piece of metal that left a half inch long gash ( not a round puncture hole ). I had tried plugging them, since it was easier to do without having to remove the tire. But the tire always leaked. I finally got sick of having to fill the air every day and bought these. Its been two weeks and its still holding. I'll update if they end up failing. So far I'm impressed with how well they work.

ARRIVED ON TIME, JUST AS DESCRIBED, WILL ORDER AGAIN

I had never used this type of patch/plug combination before - I have used tire string type plugs, which are quick and easy, but can leak, especially as the tire wears. I have also had them come out before.I have also used patches that install inside the tire. I have never had an issue with a patch inside the tire coming off.These combination patch/plugs are the only type of tire repair that meets the industry standard, and I feel much more confident in their safety.As with any patch, you must clean the silicone residue off the inside of the tire (I have found that brake parts cleaner works as well as the more expensive rubber prep cleaner). You also must properly scuff the surface (with the appropriate carbide buffing wheel) and use a good vulcanizing cement to adhere the patch.The actual installation of the patch/plug is very easy. After you ream the hole and clean and scuff the inside of the tire, just brush on the vulcanizing cement, allow it to dry, remove the protective cover on the patch and insert it through the hole. Then pull the plug until the patch is tight against the inside of the tire, use a tire repair roller tool and then apply a coat of inner liner sealer over the patch, cut off the extra length of the plug from the outside of the tire, and you're good to go.

I know you are not supposed to plug a motorcycle tires, but if I do.... I always pull the tire off the rim and patch it from the inside with one of these bad boys & some rubber cement. Done many over the years, and never had 1 fail, unlike a standard plug inserted from the tread side, which I have had several fail on me...

... for (partially) removing the tire. They seal (by far) better than the standard tubeless plug (on bicycles). I think that the bother of removing the tire is topped by the sealing power these patches provide.

Picked up a nail in a brand new tire. The nail entered the tire on a slight angle. First try was a string plug.Had a slight leak, would not seal?Second, try was a Mushroom plug.Slight leak would not saeal. Purchase these seals with the 3 different sizes. Use the middle size sealed. The tire perfect would highly recommend this product excellent.

These mushroom style patches are great for low ply tires, like car tires, or even tires for a lawn mower, ATV, and the like. They work OK for LT tires, but you may need to ream the nail hole to be able to pull the stem through. Not stout enough for real truck tires (like 12 ply and up). Once you get them installed, if you did your part right, they will not leak.
